More quotes by Elizabeth I
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy.
Elizabeth I
I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
Elizabeth I
I cannot find it in me to fear a man who took ten years a learning of his alphabet.
Elizabeth I
Had I been crested, not cloven, my Lords, you had not treated me thus.
Elizabeth I
[On Thomas Seymour's death:] This day died a man of much wit and very little judgment.
Elizabeth I
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
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
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
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
He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.
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
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I
Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.
Elizabeth I
The sea, as well as the air, is a free and common thing to all and a particular nation cannot pretend to have the right to the exclusion of all others, without violating the rights of nature and public usage.
Elizabeth I
[When opposed by leaders of her Council:] I will make you shorter by the head!
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
Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.
Elizabeth I
A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
Elizabeth I
My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.
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
