More quotes by Elizabeth I

Elizabeth I
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.
Elizabeth I
I am more afraid of making a fault in my Latin than of the Kings of Spain, France, Scotland, the whole House of Guise, and all of their confederates.
Elizabeth I

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
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
I am already bound unto an husband, which is the kingdom of England.
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
Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.
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
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 don't keep a dog and bark myself.
Elizabeth I
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
Elizabeth I
A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
Elizabeth I
