More quotes by Florence Nightingale
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
Florence Nightingale
Averages ... seduce us away from minute observation.
Florence Nightingale
For it may safely be said, not that the habit of ready and correct observation will by itself make us useful nurses, but that without it we shall be useless with all our devotion.
Florence Nightingale
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
I use the word nursing for want of a better.
Florence Nightingale
Macaulay somewhere says, that it is extraordinary that, whereas the laws of the motions of the heavenly bodies, far removed as they are from us, are perfectly well understood, the laws of the human mind, which are under our observation all day and every day, are no better understood than they were two thousand years ago.
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
Poetry and imagination begin life. A child will fall on its knees on the gravel walk at the sight of a pink hawthorn in full flower, when it is by itself, to praise God for it.
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. The night is given us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power. The day, to use the strength which has been given us, to go forth to work with it till the evening.
Florence Nightingale
The 'kingdom of heaven is within,' indeed, but we must also create one without, because we are intended to act upon our circumstances.
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
Heaven is neither a place nor a time.
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
diseases, as all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun substantives.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.
Florence Nightingale
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.
Florence Nightingale
Law is no explanation of anything law is simply a generalization, a category of facts. Law is neither a cause, nor a reason, nor a power, nor a coercive force. It is nothing but a general formula, a statistical table.
Florence Nightingale
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.
Florence Nightingale
Moral activity? There is scarcely such a thing possible! Everything is sketchy. The world does nothing but sketch.
Florence Nightingale
