More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
If you go into what I call a bubble boom, every bubble bursts.
Margaret Thatcher
In a system of free trade and free markets poor countries - and poor people - are not poor because others are rich. Indeed, if others became less rich the poor would in all probability become still poorer.
Margaret Thatcher
I went to Oxford University - but I've never let that hold me back.
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.

Margaret Thatcher
The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.

Margaret Thatcher
Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them.
Margaret Thatcher
We Conservatives hate unemployment.
Margaret Thatcher
I have very strong views about Europe. We're quite the best country. We rescued them. We're not going to get entangled with them. We've got to keep our own independence. Is that clear?
Margaret Thatcher
When will Labour learn that you cannot build Jerusalem in Brussels.
Margaret Thatcher
We went back on a very similar manifesto to things I believe in. The difference is that after eighteen months to two years he did the biggest U-turn on policy of all time and started to go the wrong way. In the end, that cost us the next election.
Margaret Thatcher
All attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail. It must be business as usual.
Margaret Thatcher
Being powerful is a lot like being a woman: If you have to tell someone that you are, invariably, you are not.
Margaret Thatcher
The European single currency is bound to fail, economically, politically and indeed socially, though the timing, occasion and full consequences are all necessarily still unclear.
Margaret Thatcher
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
