More quotes by Elizabeth I
God forgive you, but I never can.
Elizabeth I
There is no marvel in a woman learning to speak, but there would be in teaching her to hold her tongue
Elizabeth I
For, what is a family without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
Elizabeth I
My care is like my shadow in the sun, Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it, Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
Elizabeth I
I am no lover of pompous title, but only desire that my name may be recorded in a line or two, which shall briefly express my name, my virginity, the years of my reign, the reformation of religion under it, and my preservation of peace.
Elizabeth I
I have no desire to make windows into men's souls.
Elizabeth I
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
Elizabeth I
My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.
Elizabeth I
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
Elizabeth I
The daughter of debate That still discord doth sow.
Elizabeth I
If we still advise we shall never do.
Elizabeth I
As for me, I see no such great cause why I should either be fond to live or fear to die. I have had good experience of this world, and I know what it is to be a subject and what to be a sovereign. Good neighbours I have had, and I have met with bad: and in trust I have found treason.
Elizabeth I
Be always faithful to me, as I always desire to keep you in peace and if there have been wiser kings, none has ever loved you more than I have.
Elizabeth I
I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people.
Elizabeth I
Affection! Affection is false.
Elizabeth I
I find that I sent wolves not shepherds to govern Ireland, for they have left me nothing but ashes and carcasses to reign over!
Elizabeth I
Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.
Elizabeth I
[On Thomas Seymour's death:] This day died a man of much wit and very little judgment.
Elizabeth I
The sea, as well as the air, is a free and common thing to all and a particular nation cannot pretend to have the right to the exclusion of all others, without violating the rights of nature and public usage.
Elizabeth I
I cannot find it in me to fear a man who took ten years a learning of his alphabet.
Elizabeth I
