I will have here but one mistress and no master.
I thank God I am endued with such qualities that if I were turned out of the Realm in my petticoat I were able to live in any place in Christendom.

Men fight wars. Women win them.
If we still advise we shall never do.
I would rather go to any extreme than suffer anything that is unworthy of my reputation, or of that of my crown.
