    Queen Elizabeth II in her own words

    Yeh, yeh, I know, we're over 'ole Libby passing, however I believe some remembering of her personality ...


    On working together

    We may hold different points of view but it is in times of great stress and difficulty that we most
    need to remember that we have much more in common than there is dividing us. — 1974



    On optimism

    There's an old saying that "it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness".
    There are millions of people lighting candles of hope in our world today. — 2015



    On making a difference

    If you throw a stone into a pool, the ripples go on spreading outwards.
    A big stone can cause waves, but even the smallest pebble changes the whole pattern of the water.
    Our daily actions are like those ripples, each one makes a difference, even the smallest. — 1975

    Everything we do now is helping to shape the world in which our children are going to live. — 1968



    On family

    Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and
    wayward youngsters and of family disagreements. — 1989



    On war and peace

    Those who know the desert also know how quickly it can flower when the rains come.
    When the conflict stops, peace can blossom just as quickly. — 1976


    It has always been easy to hate and destroy.
    To build and to cherish is much more difficult. — 1957



    On wisdom and age


    Let us not take ourselves too seriously.
    None of us has a monopoly of wisdom and we must always be ready
    to listen and respect other points of view. — 1991


    There is no point in regretting the passage of time.
    Growing older is one of the facts of life, and it has its own compensations. — 1987


    On being Queen


    I declare before you that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted
    to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. — 1947



    Lots more ... HERE
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...
