Let The Good Service Of

I Would Gladly Chastise Those Who Represent Things As Different From What They Are. Those Who Steal Property Or Make Counterfeit Money Are Punished, And Those Ought To Be Still More Severely Dealt With Who Steal Away Or Falsify The Good Name Of A Prince.

The Doubt Of Future Foes Exiles My Present Joy.

Of Myself I Must Say This, I Never Was Any Greedy, Scraping Grasper, Nor A Strait Fast-holding Prince, Nor Yet A Master; My Heart Was Never Set On Worldly Goods, But Only For My Subjects' Good.

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.

Have A Care Over My People. You Have My People--do You That Which I Ought To Do. They Are My People.... See Unto Them--see Unto Them, For They Are My Charge.... I Care Not For Myself; My Life Is Not Dear To Me. My Care Is For My People. I Pray God, Whoever Succeedeth Me, Be As Careful Of Them As I Am.
