More quotes by Elizabeth I
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
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
He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.
Elizabeth I
Men fight wars. Women win them.
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
I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.
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
Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.
Elizabeth I
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
Elizabeth I
There is small disproportion betwixt a fool who useth not wit because he hath it not and him that useth it not when it should avail him.
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
Hang Irish harpers wherever found.
Elizabeth I
Although I may not be a lioness, I am a lion's cub, and inherit many of his qualities and as long as the King of France treats me gently he will find me as gentle and tractable as he can desire but if he be rough, I shall take the trouble to be just as troublesome and offensive to him as I can.
Elizabeth I
I would not open windows into men's souls.
Elizabeth I
Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.
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
Who seeketh two strings to one bow, they may shoot strong, but never straight.
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
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
