7 Timeless Margaret Thatcher Quotes for Conservatives

As we mourn her death, we also celebrate the life of one of the most inspirational conservatives of all time by highlighting seven of her most memorable quotes.

Thatcher once said, “I fight on. I fight to win.” Her legacy lives on through these powerful words:

1. “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”


2. “Pennies don’t fall from heaven, they have to be earned here on earth.”


3. “No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.”


4. “Economics are the method; the object is to change the heart and soul.”


5. “My policies are based not on some economics theory, but on things I and millions like me were brought up with: an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; live within your means; put by a nest egg for a rainy day; pay your bills on time; support the police.”


6. “The choice facing the nation is between two totally different ways of life. And what a prize we have to fight for: no less than the chance to banish from our land the dark, divisive clouds of Marxist socialism and bring together men and women from all walks of life who share a belief in freedom.”


And finally (paraphrasing St. Francis of Assisi):

7. “Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope.”


And Ann Althouse reminds us of another classic retort to liberalism:

"He would rather have the poor poorer, provided that the rich were less rich. That is the Liberal policy."
