Elizabeth I
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
Elizabeth I
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
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
I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.
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.
Elizabeth I
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy.
Elizabeth I
