More quotes by Florence Nightingale
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.
Florence Nightingale
All disease, at some period or other of its course, is more or less a reparative process, not necessarily accompanied with suffering: an effort of nature to remedy a process of poisoning or of decay, which has taken place weeks, months, sometimes years beforehand, unnoticed.
Florence Nightingale
diseases, as all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun substantives.
Florence Nightingale
I can expect no sympathy or help from my family.
Florence Nightingale
Statistics is the most important science in the whole world: for upon it depends the practical application of every other science and of every art: the one science essential to all political and social administration, all education, all organization based on experience, for it only gives results of our experience.
Florence Nightingale
I use the word nursing for want of a better.
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
Religious men are and must be heretics now- for we must not pray, except in a form of words, made beforehand- or think of God but with a prearranged idea.
Florence Nightingale
do not engage in any paper wars. You will convince nobody and arrive at no satisfaction yourself.
Florence Nightingale
Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
Florence Nightingale
The great reformers of the world turn into the great misanthropists, if circumstances or organization do not permit them to act.
Florence Nightingale
The 'kingdom of heaven is within,' indeed, but we must also create one without, because we are intended to act upon our circumstances.
Florence Nightingale
For the sick it is important to have the best.
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
The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health, or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.
Florence Nightingale
The account he gives of nurses beats everything that even I know of. This young prophet says that they are all drunkards, without exception, Sisters and all, and that there are but two whom the surgeon can trust to give the patients their medicines.
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
Woman has nothing but her affections,--and this makes her at once more loving and less loved.
Florence Nightingale
I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small...
Florence Nightingale
The craving for 'the return of the day', which the sick so constantly evince, is generally nothing but the desire for light.
Florence Nightingale
