More quotes by 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
I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.
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
Family does not necessarily mean blood relatives but often a description of a community, organisation or nation.
Queen Elizabeth II
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
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
I hope people will think very carefully about the future.
Queen Elizabeth II
Grief is the price we pay for love.
Queen Elizabeth II
At Christmas, I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship the Christ child.
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
My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.
Queen Elizabeth II
Work is the rent you pay for the room you occupy on earth.
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
Think what we would have missed if we had never ... used a mobile phone or surfed the Net -- or, to be honest, listened to other people talking about surfing the Net.
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
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
Good memories are our second chance at happiness.
Queen Elizabeth II
For me, heaven is likely to be a bit of a come-down.
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
It has turned out to be an annus horribilis.
Queen Elizabeth II
