More quotes by Elizabeth I
I do not want a husband who honors me as a queen if he does not love me as a woman.
Elizabeth I
The word must is not to be used to princes.
Elizabeth I
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.

Life is for living and working at. If you find anything or anybody a bore, the fault is in yourself.
Elizabeth I
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
Elizabeth I
I would gladly chastise those who represent things as different from what they are. Those who steal property or make counterfeit money are punished, and those ought to be still more severely dealt with who steal away or falsify the good name of a prince.
Elizabeth I
It is good to jest, but not to make a trade of jesting.
Elizabeth I
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
Elizabeth I

Elizabeth I
O Fortune, how thy restless, wavering state has fraught with cares my troubled wit!
Elizabeth I
There is nothing in the world I hold in greater horror than to see a body moving against its head: and I shall be very careful notto ally myself with such a monster.
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
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 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
[When opposed by leaders of her Council:] I will make you shorter by the head!
Elizabeth I
I pluck up the good lissome herbs of sentences by pruning, eat them by reading, digest them by musing, and lay them up at length in the high seat of memory.
Elizabeth I
