More quotes by Florence Nightingale
Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.
Florence Nightingale
Variety of form and brilliancy of colour in the objects presented to patients are actual means of recovery.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation as any painter's or sculptor's work.
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
Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.
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
The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.
Florence Nightingale
In a sick-room or a bed-room there should never be shutters shut.
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
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
I can stand out the war with any man.
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
Mysticism: to dwell on the unseen, to withdraw ourselves from the things of sense into communion with God - to endeavour to partake of the Divine nature that is, of Holiness.
Florence Nightingale
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
Florence Nightingale
I think one's feelings waste themselves in words they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.
Florence Nightingale
The time is come when women must do something more than the domestic hearth, which means nursing the infants, keeping a pretty house, having a good dinner and an entertaining party.
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
Passion, intellect, moral activity - these three have never been satisfied in a woman. In this cold and oppressive conventional atmosphere, they cannot be satisfied. To say more on this subject would be to enter into the whole history of society, of the present state of civilisation.
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 want of the habit of observing and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
Florence Nightingale
