More quotes by Elizabeth I
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
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
A meal of bread, cheese and beer constitutes the perfect food.
Elizabeth I
A good face is the best letter of recommendation.
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 do not want a husband who honors me as a queen if he does not love me as a woman.
Elizabeth I
Men fight wars. Women win them.

Elizabeth I
They best pass over the world who trip over it quickly for it is but a bog. If we stop, we sink.
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
To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.
Elizabeth I
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.
Elizabeth I
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
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
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 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
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
Elizabeth I
A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
Elizabeth I
