More quotes by Elizabeth I
Men fight wars. Women win them.
Elizabeth I
A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
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
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
O Fortune, how thy restless, wavering state has fraught with cares my troubled wit!
Elizabeth I
I may not be a lion,but I am lions cub and I have lion's heart
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
Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.
Elizabeth I
I would gladly chastise those who represent things as different from what they are. Those who steal property or make counterfeit money are punished, and those ought to be still more severely dealt with who steal away or falsify the good name of a prince.
Elizabeth I
I pluck up the good lissome herbs of sentences by pruning, eat them by reading, digest them by musing, and lay them up at length in the high seat of memory.
Elizabeth I
The daughter of debate That still discord doth sow.
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
The word must is not to be used to princes.
Elizabeth I
A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
Elizabeth I
Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor's son to marry.
Elizabeth I
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.
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
It is hard to find beauty in the art of self expression.
Elizabeth I
I have no desire to make windows into men's souls.
Elizabeth I
