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
Image
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I
Image
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.

Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
Elizabeth I
Image
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.
