More quotes by Elizabeth I
He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.
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
A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
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
I have no desire to make windows into men's souls.
Elizabeth I
I don't keep a dog and bark myself.
Elizabeth I
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
Elizabeth I
Affection! Affection is false.
Elizabeth I
I may not be a lion,but I am lions cub and I have lion's heart
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
Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects.
Elizabeth I
It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.
Elizabeth I
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
Elizabeth I
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
Elizabeth I
we Princes are set as it were upon stages, in the sight and view of all the world. The least spot is soon spied in our garments, a blemish quickly noticed in our doings.
Elizabeth I
The past cannot be cured.
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
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
... [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
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I
