More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I never hugged him, I bombed him.
Margaret Thatcher
If... many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.
Margaret Thatcher
Free enterprise has enabled the creative and the acquisitive urges of man to be given expression in a way which benefits all members of society. Let free enterprise fight back now, not for itself, but for all those who believe in freedom.
Margaret Thatcher
I owe nothing to Women's Lib.
Margaret Thatcher
No generation has a free hold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy-with a full repairing lease.
Margaret Thatcher
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Margaret Thatcher
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
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
Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.
Margaret Thatcher
When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment, it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands.
Margaret Thatcher
When hecklers stand up, I get a mental jump for joy. It gives me something to get my teeth into - and the audiences love it.
Margaret Thatcher
We have become a grandmother.
Margaret Thatcher
No great goal was ever easily achieved.
Margaret Thatcher
It's a funny old world.
Margaret Thatcher
Many of our troubles are due to the fact that our people turn to politicians for everything.
Margaret Thatcher
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.
Margaret Thatcher
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
Whether manufactured by black, white, brown or yellow hands, a widget remains a widget – and it will be bought anywhere if the price and quality are right. The market is a more powerful and more reliable liberating force than government can ever be.
Margaret Thatcher
Leadership is about having principles. A leader must have a vision and principles that will endure for all time and must always be true to these principles, applying them to changing circumstances
Margaret Thatcher
There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Margaret Thatcher
