Florence Nightingale
Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards.
Florence Nightingale
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.
Florence Nightingale
do not engage in any paper wars. You will convince nobody and arrive at no satisfaction yourself.
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
Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
Florence Nightingale
Averages ... seduce us away from minute observation.
