Margaret Thatcher

I am not concerned with the popularity of my policies, but with their rightness.

We need to get rid of the idea that there is a soft option.

The British people want to be free to make their own choices, to take their own risks, and to reap their own rewards.

The choice before us is clear: either we continue down the road to national decline, or we change course and restore Britain's greatness.

I believe in the ordinary people of Britain. They are capable of great things.

The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

We must not be afraid to be ourselves.

I am not prepared to see this country go down the drain.

The only way to deal with a crisis is to meet it head-on.

We need to create a society in which every individual has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

There is a moral case for capitalism.

I believe in limited government, free markets, and strong defense.

The purpose of politics is to serve the people.

We must never give up our belief in freedom.
