I owe a great deal to the church for everything in which I believe. I am very glad that I was brought up strictly. I was a very serious child. There was not a lot of fun and sparkle in my life.

More quotes by 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
There's no such thing as society.
Margaret Thatcher
Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.
Margaret Thatcher
Each generation has to stand up for democracy. It can't take anything for granted and may have to fight fundamental battles anew.
Margaret Thatcher
What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy.
Margaret Thatcher
There are some remarkable parallels between basketball and politics. Michael Jordan has already mastered the skill most needed for political success: how to stay aloft without visible means of support.
Margaret Thatcher
Isn't a policy of conventional weapons, with the terrible bombs raining down, with the missiles, with the aircraft, with the submarines, with the torpedoes, with the tanks, with chemical weapons - isn't that based on the possibility of threat?
Margaret Thatcher
A leader is someone who knows what they want to achieve and can communicate that.
Margaret Thatcher
The real case against socialism is not its economic inefficiency, though on all sides there is evidence of that. Much more fundamental is its basic immorality.
Margaret Thatcher
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Margaret Thatcher
We need a free economy not only for the renewed material prosperity it will bring, but because it is indispensable to individual freedom, human dignity and to a more just, more honest society.
Margaret Thatcher
The first step in calculating which way to go is to find out where you are.
Margaret Thatcher
What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner 'I stand for consensus'?
Margaret Thatcher
Failure? The possibilities do not exist.
Margaret Thatcher
I am an ally of the United States. We believe the same things, we believe passionately in the same battle of ideas, we will defend them to the hilt. Never try to separate me from them.
Margaret Thatcher
While the Soviet Union has imposed its rule on its neighbours and drawn an iron curtain between east and west, we in Great Britain have given freedom and independence to more than forty-eight countries whose populations now number more than a thousand million - a quarter of the world's total.
Margaret Thatcher
It is absolutely right that President Reagan considers SDI and thank goodness people considered nuclear research before the last war.
Margaret Thatcher
We want a society in which we are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. That is what we mean by a moral society - not a society in which the State is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the State.
Margaret Thatcher
I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
Margaret Thatcher
Wars are not caused by the buildup of weapons. They are caused when an aggressor believes he can achieve his objectives at an acceptable price.
Margaret Thatcher
