Margaret Thatcher
You can't lead from the crowd.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
I have the money and they won't get their hands on it.
Margaret Thatcher
When you stop a dictator, there are always risks. But there are greater risks in not stopping a dictator.
Margaret Thatcher
You can present people with ideas they may come to believe in, and as a result of them they will act, if they have the opportunities. Presenting people with opportunities is part of what politics is about.
Margaret Thatcher
