Queen Victoria

My heart is too full for language.

A marriage is no amusement but a grave thing.

The misery which the Queen feels at the loss of her beloved husband is beyond all words.

I thank God for having given me the victory.

The sovereign has, under a constitutional system... no... right to meddle in politics.

This is a very distressing and unfortunate occurrence, but we must hope for the best.

I am not yet so confident of my own strength but that the support and cooperation of other members of the Government is necessary to me.

The Prince is so calm and so reasonable that I am sure we shall get on very well together.

It is worth the whole journey to see the Emperor.

The Queen has great pleasure in announcing to her people that she has concluded a treaty of peace with Russia.

I never saw a more promising boy than Bertie, but he is very wild.

The Queen is resolved to be a pattern of a good wife and mother.

It seems to me a defect in the English language that there is no word to describe the state of being both happy and sad at the same time.

The best is the enemy of the good.

I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to press upon the government all that is needed.

The awful struggle is over; the clouds have rolled away; the sun has burst forth in all its glory.

I feel sure that no one will be more glad than I am to see the end of this war.

The Queen disclaims any wish to bind herself to any particular policy.

It is my wish that my people should have the right to govern themselves.

The Queen is most anxious to encourage art and literature.
