Where Minds Differ And Opinions

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.

Brass Shines As Fair To The Ignorant As Gold To The Goldsmiths.

Let The Good Service Of Well-deservers Be Never Rewarded With Loss. Let Their Thanks Be Such As May Encourage More Strivers For The Like.

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.

Although My Royal Rank Causes Me To Doubt Whether My Kingdom Is Not More Sought After Than Myself, Yet I Understand That You Havefound Other Graces In Me.
