Margaret Thatcher
You can't buck the market.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Europe is... a monument to the vanity of individuals, a programme whose inevitable destiny is failure.

Margaret Thatcher
The Labour Party believes in turning workers against owners we believe in turning workers into owners.
Margaret Thatcher
John Gummer just did not have the political clout or credibility to rally the troops. I had appointed him as a sort of nightwatchman, but he seemed to have to sleep on the job.
Margaret Thatcher
Constitutions have to be written on hearts, not just paper.
Margaret Thatcher
I've got my teeth into him, and I'm not going to let go.
Margaret Thatcher
There are dangers in consensus: it could be an attempt to satisfy people holding no particular views about anything. ... No great party can survive except on the basis of firm beliefs about what it wants to do.
Margaret Thatcher
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the absence of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
