Elizabeth I
Image
Affection! Affection is false.
Elizabeth I
Image
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
Elizabeth I

It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.

Image
Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.
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
Grief never ends, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith: it is the price of love.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
Image
I would not open windows into men's souls.
Elizabeth I
Image
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.

A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
Elizabeth I
Image
Life is for living and working at. If you find anything or anybody a bore, the fault is in yourself.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
Image
Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor's son to marry.
Elizabeth I
Image
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
Image
The daughter of debate That still discord doth sow.
Elizabeth I
Image
I do not want a husband who honors me as a queen if he does not love me as a woman.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
Image
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
