I do not choose that my grave should be dug while I am still alive.
Elizabeth I
Image
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.

Life is for living and working at. If you find anything or anybody a bore, the fault is in yourself.
Elizabeth I
Image
Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst
Elizabeth I
Image

Elizabeth I
Image
[To Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, on his return from self-imposed exile, occasioned by the embarrassing flatulence he had experienced in the presence of the Queen:] My Lord, I had forgot the fart.
Elizabeth I
Image
Grief never ends, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith: it is the price of love.
Elizabeth I
Image
God forgive you, but I never can.
Elizabeth I
Image
My care is like my shadow in the sun, Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it, Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
Elizabeth I
Image
Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I
Image
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
Elizabeth I
Image
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
