Margaret Thatcher's Best Quotes
"No one would remember the good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well."
"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families."
"There are dangers in consensus: it could be an attempt to satisfy people holding no particular views about anything.…No great party can survive except on the basis of firm beliefs about what it wants to do."
"You don't win by just being against things, you only win by being for things and making your message perfectly clear."
"I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end."
