Quotes by Queen Consorts

People pretend not to like grapes when the vines are too high for them to reach.

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.

It is the same in love as in war a fortress that parleys is half taken.

The woman who does not choose to love should cut the matter short at once by holding out no hopes to her suitor.

The more hidden the venom, the more dangerous it is.

A woman of honor should not suspect another of things she would not do herself.
