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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”
