I know I have but 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.
I observe and remain silent.
I will have but one mistress and no master.
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.
Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested.
I do not want a husband who honours me as a queen, if he does not love me as a woman.
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
All my possessions for a moment of time.
I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England.
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.
My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.
Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.
Grief never ends, but it changes. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith: it is the price of love.
I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people.
