A good face is the best letter of recommendation.
Elizabeth I
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
Elizabeth I
Mr. Doctor, that loose gown becomes you so well I wonder your notions should be so narrow.
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
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
Elizabeth I
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.

A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.
Elizabeth I
I am no lover of pompous title, but only desire that my name may be recorded in a line or two, which shall briefly express my name, my virginity, the years of my reign, the reformation of religion under it, and my preservation of peace.
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
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
Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! Thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.
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
No foteball player be used or suffered within the City of London and the liberties thereof upon pain of imprisonment.
Elizabeth I
Words are leaves, the substance consists of deeds, which are the true fruits of a good tree.
Elizabeth I
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
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
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
Elizabeth I
I do not want a husband who honors me as a queen if he does not love me as a woman.
Elizabeth I
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.
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
