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
The account he gives of nurses beats everything that even I know of. This young prophet says that they are all drunkards, without exception, Sisters and all, and that there are but two whom the surgeon can trust to give the patients their medicines.
Florence Nightingale
Our first journey is to find that special place for us.

Florence Nightingale
Women dream till they have no longer the strength to dream those dreams against which they so struggle, so honestly, vigorously, and conscientiously, and so in vain, yet which are their life, without which they could not have lived those dreams go at last.
Florence Nightingale
The craving for 'the return of the day', which the sick so constantly evince, is generally nothing but the desire for light.
Florence Nightingale
Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.
Florence Nightingale
... people have founded vast schemes upon a very few words.
Florence Nightingale
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.
Florence Nightingale
Let whoever is in charge keep this simple question in her head (not, how can I always do this right thing myself, but) how can I provide for this right thing to be always done?
Florence Nightingale
I can stand out the war with any man.
Florence Nightingale
