DISCOVER THE BEST BRAINY QUOTES OF
ELIZABETH II...

I HAVE BEEN

ELIZABETH II

I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN A LADY LIVING IN THE COUNTRY WITH LOTS OF HORSES AND DOGS.

ELIZABETH II

IT IS TRUE THAT THE WORLD HAS HAD TO FACE DARK TIMES THIS YEAR, BUT THE GOSPEL OF JOHN CONTAINS A VERSE OF GREAT HOPE: “THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE DARKNESS HAS NOT STOPPED IT”. ALTHOUGH HE WAS DISPLACED AND PERSECUTED THROUGHOUT HIS SHORT LIFE, CHRIST’S UNCHANGING MESSAGE WAS NOT ONE OF REVENGE OR VIOLENCE, BUT SIMPLY THAT WE MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER. “(CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2015)

ELIZABETH II

WE WERE TERRIFIED OF BEING RECOGNIZED, SO I PULLED THE VISOR OFF MY KEPI OVER MY EYES. WE WALKED THROUGH THE STREETS, A LINE OF STRANGERS HOLDING EACH OTHER BY THE ARMS AND WALKING THROUGH (THE STREET OF) WHITEHALL, CARRIED BY A TIDE OF HAPPINESS AND RELIEF.

ELIZABETH II

FOR CHRISTIANS, AS FOR ALL PEOPLE OF FAITH, REFLECTION, MEDITATION AND PRAYER HELP US TO RENEW OURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST, AS WE STRIVE EACH DAY TO BECOME BETTER PEOPLE. THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE SHOWS US THAT THIS LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE. IT IS BEYOND ANYONE’S REACH. “(CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2013)

ELIZABETH II

I DECLARE BEFORE ALL OF YOU THAT MY WHOLE LIFE, WHETHER LONG OR SHORT, WILL BE DEDICATED TO YOUR SERVICE AND TO THE SERVICE OF OUR GREAT IMPERIAL FAMILY TO WHICH WE ALL BELONG.

ELIZABETH II

FOR MANY OF US, OUR BELIEFS HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE. FOR ME, THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST AND MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE GOD PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH I TRY TO LIVE MY LIFE. LIKE MANY OF YOU, I HAVE TAKEN GREAT COMFORT FROM THE WORDS AND EXAMPLE OF CHRIST IN DIFFICULT TIMES. “(CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2000)

ELIZABETH II

IT’S TERRIBLE. IF I DON’T SMILE, I GET A KIND OF GRUMPY LOOK ON MY FACE.

ELIZABETH II

I JUST KNOW HOW MUCH I RELY ON MY PERSONAL FAITH TO GUIDE ME THROUGH GOOD TIMES AND BAD. EVERY DAY IS A NEW BEGINNING. I KNOW THAT THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE MY LIFE IS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, TO POSITION MYSELF FOR THE LONG TERM, TO GIVE MY BEST IN WHATEVER THE DAY BRINGS, AND TO PUT MY TRUST IN GOD. LIKE THOSE OF YOU WHO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM YOUR PERSONAL FAITH, I DRAW STRENGTH FROM CHRIST’S MESSAGE OF HOPE IN THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL.

ELIZABETH II

KEEP FEET ALWAYS PARALLEL. MAKE SURE YOUR WEIGHT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. THAT’S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.

ELIZABETH II

OH LOOK, I’VE GOT MY MISS PIGGY FACE!

ELIZABETH II

I PREFER MY NEW ZEALAND EGGS FOR BREAKFAST.

ELIZABETH II

THESE DAMN BABIES DON’T COME OUT UNTIL THEY’RE READY!

ELIZABETH II

LIKE ALL THE BEST FAMILIES, WE HAVE OUR SHARE OF ECCENTRICITIES, IMPETUOUS AND TEMPERAMENTAL YOUTH AND FAMILY DISAGREEMENTS.

ELIZABETH II

LET’S NOT TAKE OURSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY. NONE OF US HAS A MONOPOLY ON WISDOM.

ELIZABETH II

1992 IS NOT A YEAR I WOULD REMEMBER WITH UNALTERED PLEASURE. IN THE WORDS OF ONE OF MY MOST SYMPATHETIC CORRESPONDENTS, IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN ANNUS HORRIBILIS.

ELIZABETH II

IT HAS, QUITE SIMPLY, BEEN MY STRENGTH AND SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS. I OWE HIM AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY, THIS COUNTRY AND MANY OTHERS, A DEBT GREATER THAN HE WILL EVER CLAIM AND THAT WE WILL NEVER KNOW.

ELIZABETH II

FOOTBALL IS A DIFFICULT BUSINESS AND AREN’T THEY PRIMA DONNA? BUT IT’S A WONDERFUL GAME!

ELIZABETH II

I’M STILL ALIVE ANYWAY!

ELIZABETH II
