More quotes by Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
I want my money back!
Margaret Thatcher
[On Ronald Reagan:] Poor dear, there's nothing between his ears.
Margaret Thatcher

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
I might have preferred iron - but bronze will do. It won't rust. This time I hope, the head will stay on.
Margaret Thatcher
It is in a country's interests to keep faith with its allies. States in this sense are like people. If you have a reputation for exacting favors and not returning them, the favours dry up.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom will destroy itself if it is not exercised within some sort of moral framework, some body of shared beliefs, some spiritual heritage transmitted through the Church, the family, and the school.
Margaret Thatcher
Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth.
Margaret Thatcher
To me consensus seems to be - the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no-one believes, but to which no-one objects.
Margaret Thatcher
It's okay, Chancellor, you can touch them. Sometimes I just strip down to a tank top and stare at these guns in front of a mirror all day long.
Margaret Thatcher
