More quotes by Queen Elizabeth II
For me, heaven is likely to be a bit of a come-down.
Queen Elizabeth II
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
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
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
For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first.
Queen Elizabeth II
Good memories are our second chance at happiness.
Queen Elizabeth II
I hope people will think very carefully about the 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
Work is the rent you pay for the room you occupy on earth.
Queen Elizabeth II
What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass.
Queen Elizabeth II
The world is not the most pleasant place. Eventually, your parents leave you and nobody is going to go out of their way to protect you unconditionally. You need to learn to stand up for yourself and what you believe and sometimes, pardon my language, kick some ass.
Queen Elizabeth II
Grief is the price we pay for love.
Queen Elizabeth II
It is easy enough to define what the Commonwealth is not. Indeed this is quite a popular pastime.
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
To what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible?
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
I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.
Queen Elizabeth II
It has turned out to be an annus horribilis.
Queen Elizabeth II
