Elizabeth I
He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.
Elizabeth I
Hang Irish harpers wherever found.

Elizabeth I

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
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.

Elizabeth I
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I
It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.
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
Affection! Affection is false.
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
I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.
Elizabeth I
