More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
There is no such thing as society.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
All attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail. It must be business as usual.
Margaret Thatcher
The Prime Minister is stealing our clothes but he is going to look pretty ridiculous walking around in mine.
Margaret Thatcher
If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.
Margaret Thatcher
I owe nothing to Women's Lib.
Margaret Thatcher
Personal abuse is no substitute for policy. It signals panic.
Margaret Thatcher
Forget that I'm a woman. Forget the accusations that I am a Right Winger demanding privilege - I had precious little privilege in my early years.
Margaret Thatcher
In the same period that the Americans have lived under one constitution our French friends notched up five. A Punch cartoon has a 19th century Englishman asking a librarian for a copy of the French constitution, only to be told: 'I am sorry Sir, we do not stock periodicals.'
Margaret Thatcher
The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.
Margaret Thatcher
