More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan you should wear it inside, where it functions best.
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
Object to merit and distinction, and you're setting your face against quality, independence, originality, genius against all the richness and variety of life. When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.
Margaret Thatcher
Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you tonight in my … chiffon evening gown, my face softly made up, my fair hair gently waved, the Iron Lady of the Western world. Me? A Cold War warrior? … Well, yes — if that is how they wish to interpret my defense of values of freedoms fundamental to our way of life.

Margaret Thatcher
Putting the World to Rights
Margaret Thatcher
If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
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
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease
Margaret Thatcher
If a woman like Eva Peron with no ideals can get that far, think how far I can go with the ideals that I have.
Margaret Thatcher
I can cope with nine of them, so they ought to be able to stand one of me. They could end the tiresomeness and stubbornness by giving me what I want.
Margaret Thatcher
The battle for women's rights has largely been won. The days when they were demanded and discussed in strident tones should be gone forever. I hate those strident tones we hear from some Women's Libbers.
Margaret Thatcher
All the general propositions favouring freedom I had .. imbibed at my father's knee or acquired by candle-end reading of Burke and Hayek...
Margaret Thatcher
Let us, then, draw together in the name, not of jingoism, but of justice
Margaret Thatcher
