More quotes by Florence Nightingale
Woman has nothing but her affections,--and this makes her at once more loving and less loved.
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
When shall we see a life full of steady enthusiasm, walking straight to its aim, flying home, as that bird is now, against the wind - with the calmness and the confidence of one who knows the laws of God and can apply them?
Florence Nightingale
I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small, for it is wonderful how often in such matters the mustard-seed germinates and roots itself.
Florence Nightingale
The next Christ will perhaps be a female Christ.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.
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.

You must go to Mahometanism, to Buddhism, to the East, to the Sufis Fakirs, to Pantheism, for the right growth of mysticism.
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
Unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse of care which can be inflicted on either the sick or the well.
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
A want of the habit of observing and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
Florence Nightingale
I use the word nursing for want of a better.
Florence Nightingale
I can expect no sympathy or help from my family.
Florence Nightingale
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
Florence Nightingale
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.
Florence Nightingale
The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.
Florence Nightingale
A human being does not cease to exist at death. It is change, not destruction, which takes place.
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
