THERE’S NO
SUBSTITUTE FOR
HARD WORK

You may have to fight a battle more
than once to win it.

Margaret Thatcher

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 had everything to do, and
you’ve done it.

Margaret Thatcher

 

I wasn’t lucky.
I deserved it.

Margaret Thatcher

I do not know anyone who has gotten
to the top without hard work. That is
the recipe. It will not always get you to
the top, but it will get you pretty near.

Margaret Thatcher

There must be no hankering
after soft options.

Margaret Thatcher

One only gets to the top rung of
the ladder by steadily climbing up
one at a time.

Margaret Thatcher

Freedom is not synonymous
with an easy life.

Margaret Thatcher

I am always on the job.

Margaret Thatcher

One thing aggravates me more than
anything else – inefficiency. I can be
very sharp about that.

Margaret Thatcher

Plan your work for today and every
day, then work your plan.

Margaret Thatcher

We hanker after a West German
standard of output.

Margaret Thatcher

There is nothing inevitable about rising
unemployment.

Margaret Thatcher

Whatever we want to achieve, we have
to do something about it ourselves.

Margaret Thatcher

I couldn’t live without work.
That’s what makes me so sympathetic
towards those people who are
unemployed. I don’t know how
they live without working.

Margaret Thatcher

The world has never offered
us an easy living.

Margaret Thatcher

Jobs grow not out of windy promises
and implausible targets. They spring
from individual effort.

Margaret Thatcher

I do not make forecasts
of unemployment.
