Queen Elizabeth’s 9 best quotes on love, life, loss – and the British royal family: ‘we have our share of eccentricities, impetuous wayward youngsters and disagreements’
The British monarch has offered words of solace to those who grieve and wisdom with a bit of humour to her countrymen in difficult times
At 94 years old, Queen Elizabeth has outlasted many world leaders. She has reigned for more than 68 years and is the longest-serving British monarch ever, breaking the record set by Queen Victoria, her great-great-grandmother, in 2015. To celebrate her recent milestone birthday, on April 21, we gathered nine of her most memorable quotes of advice and wisdom.
“We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock”
“It's all to do with the training; you can do a lot if you're properly trained”
“Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements”
“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom”
