Queen Victoria

I never forget a kindness, nor an injury.

The English people are a strange race.

I am Empress of India.

The world is full of troubles.

I am determined to do my duty.

I am not a machine.

To be good is to be happy.

The poor are always with us; but the race is improving, and drunkenness is much lessened.

The Chinese are a cruel, deceitful, and treacherous people.

I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Woman's Rights'.

The Irish are dreadful, really dreadful - semi-barbarians, who are a dreadful nuisance.

The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.

Being a Queen is a most unpleasant and uninteresting profession.

I am very anxious to be good, and to do what is right.

I've no patience with people who are always grumbling about the weather.

My dear child, you must not grow up to be a blue-stocking.

There is no more exciting sport than politics.

I am amused.

No one is more anxious to do what is right than I am.

The Queen is a woman, and a woman should be a woman.
