More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.
Margaret Thatcher
Working hard may not make you rich, but it should make you successful.
Margaret Thatcher
You can present people with ideas they may come to believe in, and as a result of them they will act, if they have the opportunities. Presenting people with opportunities is part of what politics is about.
Margaret Thatcher
During my lifetime most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or another, from mainland Europe and the solution from outside it.
Margaret Thatcher
Let us never forget this fundamental truth: The State has no source of money other than the money people themselves earn.
Margaret Thatcher
We should not expect the state to appear in the guise of an extravagant good fairy at every christening, a loquacious companion at every stage of life's journey, and the unknown mourner at every funeral.
Margaret Thatcher
We intend freedom and justice to conquer. Yes, we do have a creed and we wish others to share it. But it is not part of our policy to impose our beliefs by force or threat of force.
Margaret Thatcher
I was turned out because I said to Europe no, no, no. That no, no , no has now turned into yes, yes. Two yes's not three because he got the Social Chapter out and he's reserved his position on the single currency.
Margaret Thatcher
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
Margaret Thatcher
Bribing regimes to comply with requirements which they should have acknowledged in the first place is not a process that appeals to me.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm back... and you knew I was coming. On my way here I passed a cinema with the sign 'The Mummy Returns'.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialism lays an bad egg by killing the capitalism that lays the golden eggs
Margaret Thatcher
(A unified) 'Europe' is the result of plans. It is, in fact, a classic utopian project, a monument to the vanity of intellectuals, a programme whose inevitable destiny is failure: only the scale of the final damage done is in doubt.
Margaret Thatcher
You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.
Margaret Thatcher
President Numeiri of Sudan is said to have remarked of Gadaffi that he was 'a man with a split personality - both of them evil'.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean - power over people, power to the State.
Margaret Thatcher
If you have a sense of purpose and a sense of direction, I believe people will follow you. Democracy isn't just about deducing what the people want. Democracy is leading the people as well.
Margaret Thatcher
I have never knowingly made a non-controversial speech in my life.
Margaret Thatcher
You will only succeed if you know that what you are doing is right and you know how to bring out the best in people.
Margaret Thatcher
To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.
Margaret Thatcher
