Margaret Thatcher
When you stop a dictator, there are always risks. But there are greater risks in not stopping a dictator.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.
Margaret Thatcher
It is no exaggeration to describe plain English as a fundamental tool of government.
Margaret Thatcher
A man may climb Everest for himself, but at the summit he plants his country's flag.
Margaret Thatcher
I never hugged him, I bombed him.
Margaret Thatcher
I want a capital-earning democracy. Every man and woman a capitalist. Housing is the start. If you're a man or woman of property, you've got something. So every man a capitalist, and every man a man of property.
Margaret Thatcher
The Labour Party believes in turning workers against owners we believe in turning workers into owners.
Margaret Thatcher
You can't lead from the crowd.
Margaret Thatcher
I have never knowingly made a non-controversial speech in my life.
