Queen Elizabeth II
We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock.
Queen Elizabeth II
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
Queen Elizabeth II
When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.
Queen Elizabeth II
Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendour that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God's Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.
Queen Elizabeth II
For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first.
Queen Elizabeth II
I have to be seen to be believed.
Queen Elizabeth II
I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.
Queen Elizabeth II
The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere.
Queen Elizabeth II
What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass.
Queen Elizabeth II
[On being criticized for her serious expression:] I simply ache from smiling. Why are women expected to beam all the time? It's unfair. If a man looks solemn, it's automatically assumed he's a serious person, not a miserable one.
Queen Elizabeth II
I hope people will think very carefully about the future.
Queen Elizabeth II
First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.
Queen Elizabeth II
In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
Queen Elizabeth II
I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.
Queen Elizabeth II
Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.
Queen Elizabeth II
Grief is the price we pay for love.
Queen Elizabeth II
I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.
Queen Elizabeth II
It is as queen of Canada that I am here. Queen of Canada and all Canadians, not just one or two ancestral strains.
Queen Elizabeth II
For Christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us to renew ourselves in God's love, as we strive daily to become better people. The Christmas message shows us that this love is for everyone. There is no one beyond its reach.
Queen Elizabeth II
