More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
Communism produces neither dignity nor prosperity. It takes all power away from the people and places it in the hands of a self-appointed elite. And because it distorts and manipulates the distinctive talents of individuals rather than letting those talents flourish, it prevents progress and prosperity.
Margaret Thatcher
The Russians are bent on world dominance, and they are rapidly acquiring the means to become the most powerful imperial nation the world has seen. The men in the Soviet Politburo do not have to worry about the ebb and flow of public opinion. They put guns before butter, while we put just about everything before guns.
Margaret Thatcher
The Nuremburg trials were attacked at the time as 'victor's justice'. And this is precisely what they were - and were intended to be.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean - power over people, power to the State.
Margaret Thatcher
I do believe that political arrangements which are based upon violence, intimidation and theft will eventually break down - and will deserve to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.
Margaret Thatcher
Rooster, maybe well crows, but the eggs still bears the chicken.
Margaret Thatcher
There is no such thing as society.
Margaret Thatcher
History has taught us that freedom cannot long survive unless it is based on moral foundations. You can get the economics right, but in addition liberty must be cultivated as a moral quality.
Margaret Thatcher
The battle for women's rights has largely been won. The days when they were demanded and discussed in strident tones should be gone forever. I hate those strident tones we hear from some Women's Libbers.
Margaret Thatcher
Political success is a good deal pleasanter than political failure, but it too brings its problems.
Margaret Thatcher
If you go into what I call a bubble boom, every bubble bursts.
Margaret Thatcher
It is not the business of politicians to please everyone.
Margaret Thatcher
We need to create a mood where it is everywhere thought morally right for as many people as possible to acquire capital.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.
Margaret Thatcher
Consensus is the negation of leadership.
Margaret Thatcher
If we are safe today, it is because America has stood with us. If we are to remain safe tomorrow, it will be because America remains powerful and self-confident. When, therefore, the Americans face difficulties, we need to say to them more clearly: We are with you.
Margaret Thatcher
I want my money back!
Margaret Thatcher
We have made too much of one or two people, and we think that they can win or lose elections for us. Don't be depressed if one particular person transgresses. It doesn't lose an election unless the Party loses faith in itself.
Margaret Thatcher
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
