My seat has been the seat of kings, and I will have no rascal to succeed me.

He who placed me in this seat will keep me here.

And therefore I am come amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for my God, and for my kingdom, and for my people, my honour and my blood, even the dust. I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too.

[To Parliament, when it urged her to marry and settle the succession:] You attend to your own duties and I'll perform mine.

I don't keep a dog and bark myself.

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

Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested.
