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. Therefore I have cause to wish nothing more than to content the subject and that is a duty which I owe. Neither do I desire to live longer days than I may see your prosperity and that is my only desire.

Who seeketh two strings to one bow, they may shoot strong, but never straight.

I may not be a lion,but I am lions cub and I have lion's heart

Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.

Those who appear the most sanctified are the worst

I do not want a husband who honors me as a queen if he does not love me as a woman.

Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.
