More quotes by Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.
Margaret Thatcher
We are not in politics to ignore peoples' worries, we are in politics to deal with them.
Margaret Thatcher
I couldn't live without work. That's what makes me so sympathetic towards those people who are unemployed. I don't know how they live without working.
Margaret Thatcher
Forget that I'm a woman. Forget the accusations that I am a Right Winger demanding privilege - I had precious little privilege in my early years.
Margaret Thatcher
Bribing regimes to comply with requirements which they should have acknowledged in the first place is not a process that appeals to me.
Margaret Thatcher
Our judgement is that the presence of the Royal Marines garrison is sufficient deterrent against any possible aggression.
Margaret Thatcher
Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical deviation from a socialist ideal. They were the ultimate expression, unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all about. ... In short, the state [is] everything and the individual nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
The Third World is very much like the First World - just poorer: what works for the West will work for the rest as well.
Margaret Thatcher
I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.
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
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
Life's greatest reward is life itself
Margaret Thatcher
[On George H.W. Bush:] By 1990 I had learned that I had to defer to him in conversation and not to stint the praise. If that was what was necessary to secure Britain's interests and influence, I had no hesitation in eating a little humble pie.
Margaret Thatcher
I have a habit of comparing the phraseology of communiques . . . noting a certain similarity of words, a certain similarity of optimism . . . and a certain similarity in the lack of practical results during the ensuring years.
Margaret Thatcher
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.
Margaret Thatcher
We introduced the Community Charge. I still call it that. I like the Poles - I never had any intention of taxing them.
Margaret Thatcher
If you have a sense of purpose and a sense of direction, I believe people will follow you. Democracy isn't just about deducing what the people want. Democracy is leading the people as well.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease
Margaret Thatcher
Rooster, maybe well crows, but the eggs still bears the chicken.
Margaret Thatcher
