More quotes by 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
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
Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! Thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.
Elizabeth I
There is nothing in the world I hold in greater horror than to see a body moving against its head: and I shall be very careful notto ally myself with such a monster.
Elizabeth I
Men fight wars. Women win them.
Elizabeth I
we Princes are set as it were upon stages, in the sight and view of all the world. The least spot is soon spied in our garments, a blemish quickly noticed in our doings.
Elizabeth I
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
Elizabeth I
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
Elizabeth I
[To Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, on his return from self-imposed exile, occasioned by the embarrassing flatulence he had experienced in the presence of the Queen:] My Lord, I had forgot the fart.
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
[To Parliament, when it urged her to marry and settle the succession:] You attend to your own duties and I'll perform mine.
Elizabeth I
A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
Elizabeth I
It is hard to find beauty in the art of self expression.
Elizabeth I
The end crowneth the work.
Elizabeth I
I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.
Elizabeth I
If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.
Elizabeth I
If we still advise we shall never do.
Elizabeth I
[When opposed by leaders of her Council:] I will make you shorter by the head!
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
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
Elizabeth I
