More quotes by Florence Nightingale
I can expect no sympathy or help from my family.
Florence Nightingale
Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.
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.
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
Heaven is neither a place nor a time.
Florence Nightingale
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
Florence Nightingale
Our first journey is to find that special place for us.
Florence Nightingale
The true foundation of theology is to ascertain the character of God. It is by the aid of Statistics that law in the social sphere can be ascertained and codified, and certain aspects of the character of God thereby revealed. The study of statistics is thus a religious service.
Florence Nightingale
It is very well to say be prudent, be careful, try to know each other. But how are you to know each other?
Florence Nightingale
I am of certain convinced that the greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel.
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
Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.
Florence Nightingale
Unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse of care which can be inflicted on either the sick or the well.
Florence Nightingale
I stand at the altar of murdered men, and, while I live, I fight their cause.
Florence Nightingale
Variety of form and brilliancy of colour in the objects presented to patients are actual means of recovery.
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
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
Nature alone cures. ... what nursing has to do ... is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him.
Florence Nightingale
Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.
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
