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.

The wisdom of hindsight, so u...

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

[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.

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

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

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

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.

Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot.

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

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

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

What we should grasp, however...

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 564 quotes

The desire to win is born in ...

The desire to win is born in most of us. The will to win is a matter of training. The manner of winning is a matter of honour.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

Individualism has come in for...

Individualism has come in for an enormous amount of criticism over the years. It still does. It is widely assumed to be synonymous with selfishness...But the main reason why so many people in power have always disliked individualism is because it is individualists who are ever keenest to prevent the abuse of authority.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

In my work, you get used to c...

In my work, you get used to criticisms. Of course you do, because there are a lot of people trying to get you down, but I always cheer up immensely if one is particularly wounding because I think well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left. That is why my father always taught me: never worry about anyone who attacks you personally; it means their arguments carry no weight and they know it.

A man may climb Everest for himself, but at the summit he plants his country's flag.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.

Margaret Thatcher 564 quotes

Choice is the essence of ethics: if there were no choice there would be no ethics, no good, no evil; good and evil have meaning only insofar as man is free to choose.

Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.

When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine
