More quotes by 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
You do not achieve anything without trouble, ever.
Margaret Thatcher
No generation has a free hold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy-with a full repairing lease.
Margaret Thatcher
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Margaret Thatcher
It's okay, Chancellor, you can touch them. Sometimes I just strip down to a tank top and stare at these guns in front of a mirror all day long.
Margaret Thatcher
When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.
Margaret Thatcher
Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.
Margaret Thatcher
There might be new technology, but technological progress itself was nothing new - and over the years it had not destroyed jobs, but created them.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Let me give you my vision: A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master. These are the British inheritance. They are the essence of a free country, and on that freedom all of our other freedoms depend.
Margaret Thatcher
Let's make it clear: the Conservative Party has no plans for new NHS charges.
Margaret Thatcher
I must be absolutely clear about this. Britain cannot accept the present situation on the Budget. It is demonstrably unjust. It is politically indefensible: I cannot play Sister Bountiful to the Community while my own electorate are being asked to forego improvements in the fields of health, education, welfare and the rest.
Margaret Thatcher
A quick cure is a quack cure.
Margaret Thatcher
Let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have it in them to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth.
Margaret Thatcher
Life's greatest reward is life itself
Margaret Thatcher
Business success isn't just a selfish aim. Profits spread beyond those who make them and bring jobs and prosperity.
Margaret Thatcher
