Elizabeth I
Image
He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.
Elizabeth I
Image
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
Image
A meal of bread, cheese and beer constitutes the perfect food.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
Image
My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.
Elizabeth I
