I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.

[When asked how it felt to be a female prime minister:] I don't know: I've never experienced the alternative.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

In my view dictators do not surrender. They have to be well and truly defeated.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

...Conservatives have excelle...

...Conservatives have excellent credentials to speak about human rights. By our efforts, and with precious little help from self-styled liberals, we were largely responsible for securing liberty for a substantial share of the world's population and defending it for most of the rest.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

America, my friends, is the only country in the world actually founded on liberty - the only one. People went to America to be free.

No Western nation has to build a wall round itself to keep its people in.

Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

There is no week, nor day, no...

There is no week, nor day, nor hour, when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their supreme confidence in themselves, and lose their roughness and spirit of defiance. Tyranny may always enter—there is no charm or bar against it.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

Ideally, when Christians meet...

Ideally, when Christians meet, as Christians do, to take counsel together, their purpose is not ( or should not be) to ascertain what is the mind of the majority but what is the mind of the Holy Spirit - something which may be quite different.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

Object to merit and distincti...

Object to merit and distinction, and you're setting your face against quality, independence, originality, genius against all the richness and variety of life. When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

It is always important in matters of high politics to know what you do not know. Those who think they know, but are mistaken, and act upon their mistakes, are the most dangerous people to have in charge.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

[On George H.W. Bush:] By 199...

[On George H.W. Bush:] By 1990 I had learned that I had to defer to him in conversation and not to stint the praise. If that was what was necessary to secure Britain's interests and influence, I had no hesitation in eating a little humble pie.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

The wisdom of hindsight, so useful to historians and indeed to authors of memoirs, is sadly denied to practicing politicians.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

I call the Conservative Party...

I call the Conservative Party now to a crusade. Not only the Conservative Party. I appeal to all those men and women of goodwill who do not want a Marxist future for themselves or their children or their children's children. This is not just a fight about national solvency. It is a fight about the very foundations of the social order. It is a crusade not merely to put a temporary brake on Socialism, but to stop its onward march once and for all.

Let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have it in them to do so.

Freedom under the law must never be taken for granted.

The messages on our banners in 1979 - freedom, opportunity, family, enterprise, ownership - are now inscribed on the banners in Leipzig, Warsaw, Budapest and even Moscow.

Fear is not the basis for foreign policy.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

When others spoke of the fear...

When others spoke of the fear of war, you spoke of the need for warriors and peace through strength. When others bewailed the failure of big government to provide for the collective good, you spoke of self-reliance, of personal responsibility, of individual pride and integrity. When others preached compromise - when others demanded compromise, you, Ronald Reagan, preached conviction.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

I came to office with one del...

I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society - from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain.
