From a private gentlewoman you have made me first a marchioness, then a queen; and, as you can raise me no higher in the world, you are now sending me to be a saint in Heaven.

King has absolute power. And what he has given he can taken away.

Remember me when you do pray that hope doth lead from day to day.

And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.

If it ever lay in my power, I will work the Cardinal as much displeasure as he has done to me.

The king has been very good to me. He promoted me from a simple maid to be a marchioness. Then he raised me to be a queen. Now he will raise me to be a martyr.

If any person should meddle with my cause, I require them to judge the best’.

To Jesus Christ I commend my soul; Lord Jesus receive my soul.

Vision without execution is delusion.

Vision without execution is daydreaming.

Experience has taught us, that men will not adopt and carry into execution measures best calculated for their own good, without the intervention of a coercive power.
