More quotes by Margaret Thatcher
For Dicey, writing in 1885, and for me reading him some seventy years later, the rule of law still had a very English, or at least Anglo-Saxon, feel to it. It was later, through Hayek's masterpieces The Constitution of Liberty and Law, Legislation and Liberty that I really came to think this principle as having wider application.
Margaret Thatcher
Socialism lays an bad egg by killing the capitalism that lays the golden eggs
Margaret Thatcher

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
It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.
Margaret Thatcher
Remember the 'Parable of the Talents' in the New Testament? Christ exhorts us to be the best we can be by developing our skills and abilities, by succeeding in all our tasks and endeavors. What better description can there be of capitalism?

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
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.
Margaret Thatcher
I hope we shall see more ande more women combining marriage and a career. Prejudice against this dual role is not confined to men. I regret to say, it comes from our own sex.
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
Whether at home or abroad, the task of statesman is to work with human nature warts and all, and to draw on instincts and even prejudices that can be turned to good purpose. It is never to try to recreate Mankind in a new image.
Margaret Thatcher
Those who imagine that a politician would make a better figurehead than a hereditary monarch might perhaps make the acquaintance of more politicians.
Margaret Thatcher
I have the money and they won't get their hands on it.
Margaret Thatcher
I do believe that political arrangements which are based upon violence, intimidation and theft will eventually break down - and will deserve to do so.
Margaret Thatcher
If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.
Margaret Thatcher
No Western nation has to build a wall round itself to keep its people in.

You can't buck the market.
