More quotes by Queen Elizabeth II
Good memories are our second chance at happiness.
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
I have to be seen to be believed.
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
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
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
Family does not necessarily mean blood relatives but often a description of a community, organisation or nation.
Queen Elizabeth II
What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass.
Queen Elizabeth II
I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.
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
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
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
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
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
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
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
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
It has perhaps always been the case that the waging of peace is the hardest form of leadership of all.
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
