Though God hath raised me high, yet this I count the glory of my crown: That I have reigned with your loves.
Princes have big ears which hear far and near.
A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head.
Eyes of youth have sharp sight but commonly not so deep as those of elder age.
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.
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.
