I have seen many a man turn his gold into smoke, but you are the first who has turned smoke into gold.

All my possessions for a moment of time.

I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything.

My loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourself to armed multitudes for fear of treachery; but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a King of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any Prince of Europe should dare to invade the borders of my realm.

As for me, I see no such great cause why I should either be fond to live or fear to die. I have had good experience of this world, and I know what it is to be a subject and what to be a sovereign. Good neighbours I have had, and I have met with bad: and in trust I have found treason.

It has been always held for a special principle in friendship that prosperity provideth but adversity proveth friends.

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.
