More quotes by Elizabeth I
It is hard to find beauty in the art of self expression.
Elizabeth I
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy.
Elizabeth I
Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.
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
I have no desire to make windows into men's souls.
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
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
Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.
Elizabeth I
I thank God I am endued with such qualities that if I were turned out of the Realm in my petticoat I were able to live in any place in Christendom.
Elizabeth I
God has given such brave soldiers to this Crown that, if they do not frighten our neighbours, at least they prevent us from being frightened by them.
Elizabeth I
There is no marvel in a woman learning to speak, but there would be in teaching her to hold her tongue
Elizabeth I
O Fortune, how thy restless, wavering state has fraught with cares my troubled wit!
Elizabeth I
Words are leaves, the substance consists of deeds, which are the true fruits of a good tree.
Elizabeth I
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
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
Life is for living and working at. If you find anything or anybody a bore, the fault is in yourself.
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
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
Elizabeth I
[When opposed by leaders of her Council:] I will make you shorter by the head!
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
