*Nel considerare i nostri legami tradizionali con il Commonwealth dovremmo ricordare che oggi si differenzia notevolmente dall' organizzazione che esisteva 20 o 30 anni fa. Molti di noi non sono proprio legati dalla stessa fedeltà all'arcivescovo Makarios o al dottore Nkrumah o a persone come Jomo Kenyatta come lo sono verso Mr. Menzies dell'Australia.

:''She's ruled by a dictatorship of patient, far-sighted determined men who are rapidly making their country the foremost naval and military power in the world. They are not doing this solely for the sake of self-defence. A huge, largely land-locked country like Russia does not need to build the most powerful navy in the world just to guard its own frontiers. No. The Russians are bent on world dominance, and they are rapidly acquiring the means to become the most powerful imperial nation the world has seen. The men in the Soviet politburo don't have to worry about the ebb and flow of public opinion. "They put guns before butter", while we put just about everything before guns. They know that they are a super power in only one sense—the military sense. They are a failure in human and economic terms.''<ref group="fonte">{{en}} Citato in [http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/102939 MargaretThatcher.org], documento n.° 102939</ref>

:''They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation.''<ref group="fonte">{{en}} Citato in [http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/106689 MargaretThatcher.org], documento n.° 106689</ref>

:''The freedom of peoples depends fundamentally on the rule of law, a fair legal system. The place to have trials or accusations is a court of law, the Common Law that has come right up from Magna Carta, which has come right up through the British courts—a court of law is the place where you deal with these matters. If you ever get trial by television or guilt by accusation, that day freedom dies because you have not had it done with all of the careful rules that have developed in a court of law. Press and television rely on freedom. Those who rely on freedom must uphold the rule of law and have a duty and a responsibility to do so and not try to substitute their own system for it.''<ref group="fonte">{{en}} Citato in [http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/107058 MargaretThatcher.org], documento n.° 107058</ref>

:''Mr. Chairman, you have invited me to speak on the subject of Britain and Europe. Perhaps I should congratulate you on your courage. If you believe some of the things said and written about my views on Europe, it must seem rather like inviting Genghis Khan to speak on the virtues of peaceful coexistence!'' [...] ''The European Community is "one" manifestation of that European identity, but it is not the only one. We must never forget that east of the Iron Curtain, peoples who once enjoyed a full share of European culture, freedom and identity have been cut off from their roots. We shall always look on Warsaw, Prague and Budapest as great European cities.'' [...] ''To try to suppress nationhood and concentrate power at the centre of a European conglomerate would be highly damaging and would jeopardise the objectives we seek to achieve. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.'' [...] ''it is ironic that just when those countries such as the Soviet Union, which have tried to run everything from the centre, are learning that success depends on dispersing power and decisions away from the centre, there are some in the Community who seem to want to move in the opposite direction. We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels''.<ref group="fonte">{{en}} Citato in [http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/107332 MargaretThatcher.org], documento n.° 107332</ref>
