More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
My first guiding principle is this: willing and active co-operation between independent sovereign states.

Margaret Thatcher
I shall fight on, I shall fight to win.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Let's make it clear: the Conservative Party has no plans for new NHS charges.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the absence of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.
Margaret Thatcher
I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.
Margaret Thatcher
Everything a politician promises at election time has to be paid for either by higher taxation or by borrowing.
Margaret Thatcher
There are too few rich and too few profits.
