More quotes by Elizabeth I
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
I don't keep a dog and bark myself.
Elizabeth I
A good face is the best letter of recommendation.
Elizabeth I
O Fortune, how thy restless, wavering state has fraught with cares my troubled wit!
Elizabeth I
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.
Elizabeth I
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
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
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
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
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
He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.
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
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
To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.
Elizabeth I
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
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
I have seen many a man turn his gold into smoke, but you are the first who has turned smoke into gold.
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
I would rather go to any extreme than suffer anything that is unworthy of my reputation, or of that of my crown.
Elizabeth I
