15 Amazing Margaret Thatcher Quotes on Leadership and Willpower

“The Iron Lady” could simply not be moved. With a very strong set of principles, Margaret Thatcher was the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom.

Thatcher got her nickname after accusing the Soviet Union of being bent on world domination and giving a fearless anti-communism speech back in 1976. Thatcher believed in a free market and free capitalism.margaret-thatcher-quote-dont-follow-crowd

During her three terms, she faced a military challenge that became known as the Falklands War, reduced trade union power, cut social welfare programs and privatized some state-owned companies. While trying to implement a fixed-rate local tax, The Iron Lady’s popularity decreased and, in 1990, she announced her resignation.

Due to her leadership style, amazing determination, actions and policies, Thatcher is considered one of the most famous politicians in British history.

Here are 15 Margaret Thatcher quotes to boost your determination to push forward.

Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.
Any leader has to have a certain amount of steel in them, so I am not that put out being called the Iron Lady.
It pays to know the enemy -- not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.
When people are free to choose, they choose freedom.
I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
