Selected Margaret Thatcher Quotations

• We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state.

• Economics are the method; the object is to change the soul.

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

• There is no such thing as Society. There are individual men and women, and there are families.

• As God once said, and I think rightly...

• To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.

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

Задумался, продукт чего же Россия? Хочется верить, что не пищеварения.

• It will be years - and not in my time - before a woman will lead the party or become prime minister. (1974)


И мое любимое (особенно сегодня):

• 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 when you've had everything to do and you've done it.
