More quotes by Elizabeth I
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
Elizabeth I
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
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
The word must is not to be used to princes.
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
O Fortune, how thy restless, wavering state has fraught with cares my troubled wit!
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
Affection! Affection is false.
Elizabeth I
A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
Elizabeth I
No foteball player be used or suffered within the City of London and the liberties thereof upon pain of imprisonment.
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
