More quotes by Florence Nightingale
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
diseases, as all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun substantives.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards.
Florence Nightingale
I stand at the altar of murdered men, and, while I live, I fight their cause.
Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.

Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
Florence Nightingale
Unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse of care which can be inflicted on either the sick or the well.
Florence Nightingale
What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.
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
Life is a hard fight, a struggle, a wrestling with the principle of evil, hand to hand, foot to foot. Every inch of the way is disputed. The night is given us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power. The day, to use the strength which has been given us, to go forth to work with it till the evening.
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
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
Religion was important to me. My family and I were very religious. I acctualy believe the work I did was a calling from God himself.
Florence Nightingale
A want of the habit of observing and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
Florence Nightingale
Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.
Florence Nightingale
I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small...
Florence Nightingale
... people have founded vast schemes upon a very few words.
Florence Nightingale
Passion, intellect, moral activity - these three have never been satisfied in a woman. In this cold and oppressive conventional atmosphere, they cannot be satisfied. To say more on this subject would be to enter into the whole history of society, of the present state of civilisation.
