More quotes by 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
[When opposed by leaders of her Council:] I will make you shorter by the head!
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
I would rather go to any extreme than suffer anything that is unworthy of my reputation, or of that of my crown.
Elizabeth I
Hang Irish harpers wherever found.
Elizabeth I
The daughter of debate That still discord doth sow.
Elizabeth I
I am already bound unto an husband, which is the kingdom of England.
Elizabeth I
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
Elizabeth I
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
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
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
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
They best pass over the world who trip over it quickly for it is but a bog. If we stop, we sink.
Elizabeth I
For, what is a family without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
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
A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
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
Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.
Elizabeth I
The past cannot be cured.
Elizabeth I
