More quotes by Elizabeth I
The word must is not to be used to princes.
Elizabeth I

Elizabeth I
... [ellipsis in source] it is true that the world was made in six days, but it was by God, to whose power the infirmity of men isnot to be compared.

Elizabeth I

Elizabeth I
The end crowneth the work.
Elizabeth I
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
Elizabeth I
I thank God I am endued with such qualities that if I were turned out of the Realm in my petticoat I were able to live in any place in Christendom.
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. Therefore I have cause to wish nothing more than to content the subject and that is a duty which I owe. Neither do I desire to live longer days than I may see your prosperity and that is my only desire.
Elizabeth I
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
Elizabeth I
It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.
Elizabeth I
