Thatcher Quotes

I’m quoting Margaret Thatcher. I quote her frequently Picture Quote #1

I have an ambivalent relationship with Margaret Thatcher. She came to power in May 1979 - a month before my 11th birthday. I was far too young to have developed a great deal of political awareness. I remember it, though - my mother excited at the dinner table because Britain had its first female prime minister Picture Quote #1

I became an insomniac, really, hardly slept at all, didn’t even try to. And it’s carried on. I hate to say I only need as much sleep as Mrs. Thatcher, but I can cope really well on five hours Picture Quote #1

Eureka’ was very bad timing. The early 1980s: Reagan and Thatcher were in, greed was good, and here was a film about the richest man in the world who still couldn’t be happy. Politically and sociologically, it was out of step Picture Quote #1

Margaret Thatcher has one great advantage - she is a daughter of the people and looks trim, as the daughter of the people desire to be. Shirley Williams has such an advantage over her because she’s a member of the upper-middle class and can achieve the kitchen-sink revolutionary look that one cannot get unless one has been to a really good school Picture Quote #1

But let me tell you, this gender thing is history. You’re looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues Picture Quote #1

Margaret Thatcher - this great lady has not only served her country well, she has served the free world well Picture Quote #1

Just as the England football manager starts with bells and flags and balloons and ends up reviled, so do prime ministers. Tony Blair - is there anyone more despised now? Gordon Brown - all right, nobody voted for him but, you know... just think of any of them. Margaret Thatcher. John Major. Steve McLaren. Fabio Capello Picture Quote #1

I was about 16 when punk started to happen. It was so exciting. You had a social depression going on in the U.K. There was a sanitation strike. London was really grim, gray. You had Margaret Thatcher coming in. It was a really revolutionary time Picture Quote #1

Thatcher was the motivation for my entire political career. I hated everything she stood for Picture Quote #1

When I started knocking on Highland doors in May 1983, two things struck me more than any other. First was the sheer depth of hostility towards the Tories in general. Second was the particular hostility towards Margaret Thatcher and her local ministerial spear-carrier, energy minister and incumbent MP of 13 years’ standing, Hamish Gray Picture Quote #1

The world is undoubtedly a safer, freer place because Thatcher - like Reagan - refused to back down when it came to defending freedom Picture Quote #1

As Margaret Thatcher came up in the world, so the Conservative Party came down Picture Quote #1

So all the system was running down and collapsing. Mrs. Thatcher became the leader of the Conservative Party in February 1975, and she clearly wanted to strike out and do something different Picture Quote #1

It is quite clear that history will record that Margaret Thatcher was the greatest Prime Minister this country has had since Churchill Picture Quote #1

When I was a boy during Thatcher, you watched elections and wept in disbelief as the whole country turned blue, Scotland turned red, and we still got the Tories Picture Quote #1

Margaret Thatcher:... The first eleven and a half years have not been so bad - and with regard to a twilight, please remember that there are 24 hours in a day Picture Quote #1

One of the most influential women of the 20th century? Well, that may be overdoing it. When one thinks of really influential women, my mind turns to Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, ... some of the true political leaders in their own right Picture Quote #1

It is good to see women doctors and lawyers and executives. I can visualize a woman president. If I were British, I would have supported Margaret Thatcher. But no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat Picture Quote #1

Paddy Ashdown is the only party leader who’s a trained killer. Although, to be fair, Mrs Thatcher was self taught Picture Quote #1

My only thought about Margaret Thatcher is the same one I had about Ronald Reagan. I hated a lot of what they did, but once in a while a country just needs a change Picture Quote #1

Margaret Thatcher was a great leader for her nation at a pivotal and a perilous time. So, I find the comparison flattering, but that’s up to others to say whether that comparison is justified Picture Quote #1

If there is a better singer in England than Craig David, then I am Margaret Thatcher Picture Quote #1

She is a reflection of comfortable middle-class values that do not take seriously the continuing unemployment. What I particularly regret is that she does not take seriously the intellectual decline. Having given up the Empire and the mass production of industrial goods, Britain's future lay in it's scientific and artistic pre-eminence. Mrs Thatcher will be long remembered for the damage she has done Picture Quote #1
