More quotes by Elizabeth I
Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.
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
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
Elizabeth I
There is no marvel in a woman learning to speak, but there would be in teaching her to hold her tongue
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
For, what is a family without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
Elizabeth I
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
Elizabeth I
we Princes are set as it were upon stages, in the sight and view of all the world. The least spot is soon spied in our garments, a blemish quickly noticed in our doings.
Elizabeth I
Although I may not be a lioness, I am a lion's cub, and inherit many of his qualities and as long as the King of France treats me gently he will find me as gentle and tractable as he can desire but if he be rough, I shall take the trouble to be just as troublesome and offensive to him as I can.
Elizabeth I
Words are leaves, the substance consists of deeds, which are the true fruits of a good tree.
Elizabeth I
Affection! Affection is false.
Elizabeth I
The past cannot be cured.
Elizabeth I
I cannot find it in me to fear a man who took ten years a learning of his alphabet.
Elizabeth I
No foteball player be used or suffered within the City of London and the liberties thereof upon pain of imprisonment.
Elizabeth I
I may not be a lion,but I am lions cub and I have lion's heart
Elizabeth I
It is monstrous that the feet should direct the head.
Elizabeth I
God forgive you, but I never can.
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
The word must is not to be used to princes.
Elizabeth I
If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.
Elizabeth I
