"For even our enemies hold our nation resolute and valiant, which though they will not outwardly show, they invariably know. And whensoever the malice of our enemies should cause them to make any attempt against us, I doubt not but we shall have the greatest glory, God fighting for those that truly serve Him with the justness of their quarrel."

More by Elizabeth I of England

“I know the title of a King is a glorious title, but assure yourself that the shining glory of princely authority hath not so dazzled the eyes of our understanding, but that we well know and remember that we also are to yield an account of our actions before the great judge. To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.”

“This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.”

“Must is not a word to be used to princes! Little man, little man, if your late father were here he would never dare utter such a word.”

“Those who touch the sceptres of princes deserve no pity.”

“I shall be thy name in Christ as I emerge through these walls in vein”

“Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.”
