We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.
From Queen Victoria
Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife.
Everybody grows but me.
Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.
The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.
The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
I feel sure that no girl would go to the altar if she knew all.
I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
