More quotes by 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
Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.
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.

Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
For the sick it is important to have the best.
Florence Nightingale
Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
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
A human being does not cease to exist at death. It is change, not destruction, which takes place.
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
If a patient is cold, if a patient is feverish, if a patient is faint, if he is sick after taking food, if he has a bed-sore, it is generally the fault not of the disease, but of the nursing.
