More quotes by 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
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
A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
Elizabeth I
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
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 will be as good unto ye as ever a Queen was unto her people. No will in me can lack, neither do I trust shall there lack any power. And persuade yourselves that for the safety and quietness of you all I will not spare if need be to spend my blood.
Elizabeth I
[On Thomas Seymour's death:] This day died a man of much wit and very little judgment.
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
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 would not open windows into men's souls.
Elizabeth I
[To Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, on his return from self-imposed exile, occasioned by the embarrassing flatulence he had experienced in the presence of the Queen:] My Lord, I had forgot the fart.
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 Parliament, when it urged her to marry and settle the succession:] You attend to your own duties and I'll perform mine.
Elizabeth I
It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.
Elizabeth I
Hang Irish harpers wherever found.
Elizabeth I
I may not be a lion,but I am lions cub and I have lion's heart
Elizabeth I
A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
Elizabeth I
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy.
Elizabeth I
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
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
