Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
Queen Victoria

Everybody grows but me.
Queen Victoria

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

Queen Victoria

We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.
Queen Victoria
