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
God forgive you, but I never can.
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
Hang Irish harpers wherever found.
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
The past cannot be cured.
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 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
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
Who seeketh two strings to one bow, they may shoot strong, but never straight.
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
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
Elizabeth I
Men fight wars. Women win them.
Elizabeth I
