A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head.
From Elizabeth I
Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.
I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.
God has given such brave soldiers to this Crown that, if they do not frighten our neighbours, at least they prevent us from being frightened by them.
The past cannot be cured.
I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.
Must! Is must a word to be addressed to princes? Little man, little man! Thy father, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.
There is one thing higher than Royalty: and that is religion, which causes us to leave the world, and seek God.
I shall lend credit to nothing against my people which parents would not believe against their own children.
I pray to God that I shall not live one hour after I have thought of using deception.
