More quotes by Queen Elizabeth II
I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire of societies old and new of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by God's Will, united in spirit and in aim.
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
Good memories are our second chance at happiness.
Queen Elizabeth II
For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first.
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
Family does not necessarily mean blood relatives but often a description of a community, organisation or nation.
Queen Elizabeth II
For me, heaven is likely to be a bit of a come-down.
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
They are not royal. They just happen to have me as their aunt.
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
I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.
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
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
Grief is the price we pay for love.
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
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
What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass.
Queen Elizabeth II
[To the suggestion that Great Britain might someday want a Republic:] We'll go quietly.
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
It has perhaps always been the case that the waging of peace is the hardest form of leadership of all.
Queen Elizabeth II
