More quotes by Elizabeth I
Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested.
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
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
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
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
Elizabeth I
I will be as good unto ye as ever a Queen was unto her people. No will in me can lack, neither do I trust shall there lack any power. And persuade yourselves that for the safety and quietness of you all I will not spare if need be to spend my blood.

Elizabeth I
I have seen many a man turn his gold into smoke, but you are the first who has turned smoke into gold.
Elizabeth I
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
Elizabeth I
I cannot find it in me to fear a man who took ten years a learning of his alphabet.
Elizabeth I
Grief never ends, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith: it is the price of love.
Elizabeth I
I am already bound unto an husband, which is the kingdom of England.
Elizabeth I
The word must is not to be used to princes.
Elizabeth I
It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.
Elizabeth I
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy.
Elizabeth I
A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
Elizabeth I
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
Elizabeth I
The end crowneth the work.
Elizabeth I
Hang Irish harpers wherever found.
Elizabeth I
