Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
A quick cure is a quack cure.
Margaret Thatcher
It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.
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
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
Margaret Thatcher
Life in a free society...is heaven on earth to life in a socialist society such as Russia.
Margaret Thatcher
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Margaret Thatcher

I wasn't lucky. I deserved it.
Margaret Thatcher
