More quotes by Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
It is not the business of politicians to please everyone.
Margaret Thatcher
I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
Wars are not caused by the buildup of weapons. They are caused when an aggressor believes he can achieve his objectives at an acceptable price.
Margaret Thatcher
There are some remarkable parallels between basketball and politics. Michael Jordan has already mastered the skill most needed for political success: how to stay aloft without visible means of support.
Margaret Thatcher
[On Ronald Reagan:] Poor dear, there's nothing between his ears.
Margaret Thatcher
Isn't a policy of conventional weapons, with the terrible bombs raining down, with the missiles, with the aircraft, with the submarines, with the torpedoes, with the tanks, with chemical weapons - isn't that based on the possibility of threat?
Margaret Thatcher
I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.
Margaret Thatcher
We went back on a very similar manifesto to things I believe in. The difference is that after eighteen months to two years he did the biggest U-turn on policy of all time and started to go the wrong way. In the end, that cost us the next election.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.
Margaret Thatcher
No generation has a free hold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy-with a full repairing lease.
