More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I will not change just to court popularity.
Margaret Thatcher
I don't know what I would do without Whitelaw. Everyone should have a Willy.
Margaret Thatcher
We are a British nation with British characteristics. Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm standing up for the right of self-determination. I'm standing up for our territory. I'm standing up for our people. I'm standing up for international law. I'm standing up for all those territories - those small territories and peoples the world over - who, if someone doesn't stand up and say to an invader 'enough, stop', would be at risk.
Margaret Thatcher
The mission of this government is much more than the promotion of economic progress. It is to renew the spirit and solidarity of the nation.
Margaret Thatcher
Dictators can be deterred, they can be crushed - but they can never be appeased.
Margaret Thatcher
I was asked whether I was trying to restore Victorian values. I said straight out I was. And I am.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't buck the market.
Margaret Thatcher
Why do you climb philosophical hills? Because they are worth climbing . . . There are no hills to go down unless you start from the top.
Margaret Thatcher
A leader is someone who knows what they want to achieve and can communicate that.
Margaret Thatcher
Platitudes? Yes, there are platitudes. Platitudes are there because they are true.
Margaret Thatcher
The patronage state is an arrogant state. It assumes it can spend your money better than you do. Yet it expects you to work for it in the first place.
Margaret Thatcher
The choice facing the nation is between two totally different ways of life. And what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark, divisive clouds of Marxist socialism and bring together men and women from all walks of life who share a belief in freedom.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm not a good butcher but I've had to learn to carve the joint. People expect a new look.
Margaret Thatcher
(A unified) 'Europe' is the result of plans. It is, in fact, a classic utopian project, a monument to the vanity of intellectuals, a programme whose inevitable destiny is failure: only the scale of the final damage done is in doubt.
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.
Margaret Thatcher
Peace is hard work and we must not allow people to forget it.
Margaret Thatcher
I want my money back!
Margaret Thatcher
Political success is a good deal pleasanter than political failure, but it too brings its problems.
Margaret Thatcher
The woman's mission is not to enhance the masculine spirit, but to express the feminine hers is not to preserve a man-made world, but to create a human world by the infusion of the feminine element into all of its activities.
Margaret Thatcher
