Any attempts by any government to change Community legislation to its own wishes are doomed to failure following the extension of policy areas now subject to majority voting... In our opinion, this must have serious implications for the traditional view of Parliament as a legislative body sovereignty.

If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.
Margaret Thatcher

Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them.

My first guiding principle is this: willing and active co-operation between independent sovereign states. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.

Life in a free society...is heaven on earth to life in a socialist society such as Russia.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
It seems like cloud cuckoo land. If anyone is suggesting that I would go to Parliament and suggest the abolition of the Pound Sterling - no! We have made it quite clear that we will not have a single currency imposed upon us.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
We intend freedom and justice to conquer. Yes, we do have a creed and we wish others to share it. But it is not part of our policy to impose our beliefs by force or threat of force.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
Economics are the method the object is to change the soul.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.
Margaret Thatcher

I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.
Margaret Thatcher

The larger the slice taken by government, the smaller the cake available for everyone.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
Please don't use the word tough. People might get the impression that I don't care. And I do care, very deeply. Resilient, I think.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
Margaret Thatcher

I owe a great deal to the church for everything in which I believe. I am very glad that I was brought up strictly. I was a very serious child. There was not a lot of fun and sparkle in my life.
