More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.
Margaret Thatcher
We do not believe that if you cut back what government does you diminish its authority. On the contrary, a government that did less, and therefore did better, would strengthen its authority.
Margaret Thatcher
Communist regimes were not some unfortunate aberration, some historical deviation from a socialist ideal. They were the ultimate expression, unconstrained by democratic and electoral pressures, of what socialism is all about. ... In short, the state [is] everything and the individual nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
(On The International Criminal Court) For the victors of the Cold War to submit to an unelected, unaccountable, and almost certainly hostile body such as that envisaged would be the ultimate irony.
Margaret Thatcher
I believe our way of life is infinitely superior for every human being than any which the Communist creed can offer.

Margaret Thatcher
No great goal was ever easily achieved.
Margaret Thatcher
Europe is... a monument to the vanity of individuals, a programme whose inevitable destiny is failure.

Margaret Thatcher
I had the patriotic conviction that, given great leadership of the sort I heard from Winston Churchill in the radio broadcasts to which we listened, there was almost nothing that the British people could not do.
Margaret Thatcher
No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions he had money as well.
Margaret Thatcher
During my lifetime most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or another, from mainland Europe and the solution from outside it.
Margaret Thatcher
The government has no money of its own. It's all your money.
Margaret Thatcher
I'm standing up for the right of self-determination. I'm standing up for our territory. I'm standing up for our people. I'm standing up for international law. I'm standing up for all those territories - those small territories and peoples the world over - who, if someone doesn't stand up and say to an invader 'enough, stop', would be at risk.
Margaret Thatcher
If you set out to be liked, you will accomplish nothing.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.
Margaret Thatcher
