More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
We have become a grandmother.
Margaret Thatcher
In a system of free trade and free markets poor countries - and poor people - are not poor because others are rich. Indeed, if others became less rich the poor would in all probability become still poorer.
Margaret Thatcher
It's the Labour Government that have brought us record peacetime taxation. They've got the usual Socialist disease - they've run out of other people's money.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't buck the market.
Margaret Thatcher
For the Christian there can be no social or political panaceas, no easy escapes from personal responsibility achieved by collectivising guilt or virtue. The true ends of temporal life lie beyond it, and, though the tyrannical State may diminish virtue, the benevolent State cannot procure it.
Margaret Thatcher
We want a society in which we are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. That is what we mean by a moral society - not a society in which the State is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the State.
Margaret Thatcher
What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy.
Margaret Thatcher
Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
Margaret Thatcher
Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.
Margaret Thatcher
When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment, it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't want to fight any wars if you can get them off before we get there, you do it, but off they go.
Margaret Thatcher
Putting the World to Rights
Margaret Thatcher
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Margaret Thatcher
The patronage state is an arrogant state. It assumes it can spend your money better than you do. Yet it expects you to work for it in the first place.
Margaret Thatcher
We need to create a mood where it is everywhere thought morally right for as many people as possible to acquire capital.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't know what I would do without Whitelaw. Everyone should have a Willy.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't think any woman in power really has a happy life unless she's got a large number of women friends ... because you sometimes must go and sit down and let down your hair with someone you can trust totally.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
Margaret Thatcher
We are a British nation with British characteristics. Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.
Margaret Thatcher
Let's make it clear: the Conservative Party has no plans for new NHS charges.
Margaret Thatcher
