More quotes by Florence Nightingale
The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.
Florence Nightingale
Woman has nothing but her affections,--and this makes her at once more loving and less loved.
Florence Nightingale
I stand at the altar of murdered men, and, while I live, I fight their cause.
Florence Nightingale
A woman cannot live in the light of intellect. Society forbids it. Those conventional frivolities, which are called her 'duties', forbid it. Her 'domestic duties', high-sounding words, which, for the most part, are but bad habits (which she has not the courage to enfranchise herself from, the strength to break through), forbid it.
Florence Nightingale
The next Christ will perhaps be a female Christ.
Florence Nightingale
Marriage is the only chance (and it is but a chance) offered to women for escape from this death and how eagerly and how ignorantly it is embraced.
Florence Nightingale
Heaven is neither a place nor a time.
Florence Nightingale
Never to allow a patient to be waked, intentionally or accidentally, is a sine qua non of all good nursing.
Florence Nightingale
She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.
Florence Nightingale
Our first journey is to find that special place for us.
Florence Nightingale
You must go to Mahometanism, to Buddhism, to the East, to the Sufis Fakirs, to Pantheism, for the right growth of mysticism.
Florence Nightingale
Poetry and imagination begin life. A child will fall on its knees on the gravel walk at the sight of a pink hawthorn in full flower, when it is by itself, to praise God for it.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards.
Florence Nightingale
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
The time is come when women must do something more than the domestic hearth, which means nursing the infants, keeping a pretty house, having a good dinner and an entertaining party.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation as any painter's or sculptor's work.
Florence Nightingale
Law is no explanation of anything law is simply a generalization, a category of facts. Law is neither a cause, nor a reason, nor a power, nor a coercive force. It is nothing but a general formula, a statistical table.
Florence Nightingale
I was very limited as a women. Getting the men in the military to see that the medical facilities were unhealthy was very difficult, along with many other things such as getting a good education and also finding a good career.
Florence Nightingale
Mysticism: to dwell on the unseen, to withdraw ourselves from the things of sense into communion with God - to endeavour to partake of the Divine nature that is, of Holiness.
Florence Nightingale
There is a physical, not moral, impossibility of supplying the wants of the intellect in the state of civilisation at which we have arrived.
Florence Nightingale
