Elisabeth II. Zitate und Sprüche

„Heute mag es schwierig erscheinen, dieses besondere Jubiläum nicht so zu feiern, wie wir es uns wünschen würden. Stattdessen erinnern wir uns aus unseren Häusern und vor unserer Haustür. Aber unsere Straßen sind nicht leer; sie sind erfüllt von der Liebe und der Fürsorge, die wir füreinander haben. Und wenn ich heute auf unser Land schaue und sehe, was wir tun wollen, um uns gegenseitig zu schützen und zu unterstützen, sage ich mit Stolz, dass wir immer noch eine Nation sind, die diese tapferen Soldaten, Seeleute und Flieger erkennen und bewundern würden.“

— Elisabeth II.

Über Liebe, Land

“Today it may seem hard that we cannot mark this special anniversary as we would wish. Instead we remember from our homes and our doorsteps. But our streets are not empty; they are filled with the love and the care that we have for each other. And when I look at our country today, and see what we are willing to do to protect and support one another, I say with pride that we are still a nation those brave soldiers, sailors and airmen would recognise and admire.”

“The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated. Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.”

“Although we must leave you,
Fair Castle of Mey,
We shall never forget,
Nor will never repay,
A meal of such splendour,
Repast of such zest,
It will take us to Sunday,
Just to digest.
To leafy Balmoral,
We are now on our way,
But our hearts will remain
At the Castle of Mey.
With your gardens and ranges,
And all your good cheer,
We will be back again soon
So roll on next year.”

“I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country. The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.”
