If there were two princes in Christendom who had good will and courage, it would be very easy to reconcile the religious difficulties; there is only one Jesus Christ and one faith, and all the rest is a dispute over trifles.

He that will forget God, will also forget his benefactors.

There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith. All else is a dispute over trifles.

[On Thomas Seymour's death:] This day died a man of much wit and very little judgment.

[On being told Mary, Queen of Scots, was taller than she:] Then she is too high, for I myself am neither too high nor too low.

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.

The true sin against the Holy Ghost is ingratitude.
