Queen Victoria

I am anxious to be of use to my country.

I will be good.

The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights,' with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor, feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feeling and propriety.

We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat; they do not exist.

I am very much grieved at the news from India. I trust that the Almighty will protect my brave soldiers and restore peace to my dominions.

To be the mother of a great nation is a great thing.

The Queen is quite aware that the present state of things cannot continue, and that a great change must take place.

No one is more anxious than I am to see the welfare of my people promoted.

I am determined to maintain the honour and dignity of my Crown.

The Queen feels that her duty is to her country, and that she must not allow her private feelings to interfere with her public duties.

I have always felt that the welfare of my people was my first duty.

The Queen is much distressed at the state of Ireland.

I am an old woman, but I am still the Queen.

The Queen is very much pleased with the success of her troops.

I am not amused.

The Queen is most anxious that the poor should be cared for.

I am very much attached to my dear country.

The Queen is determined to do her duty.

I am quite aware of the difficulties, but I am not afraid.

The Queen is deeply sensible of the loyalty and affection of her people.
