Image
I stand at the altar of murdered men, and, while I live, I fight their cause.
Florence Nightingale
Image
I was very limited as a women. Getting the men in the military to see that the medical facilities were unhealthy was very difficult, along with many other things such as getting a good education and also finding a good career.

Image
The next Christ will perhaps be a female Christ.
Florence Nightingale
Image
The night is given to us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power.
Florence Nightingale
Image
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.

What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.

Image
I can stand out the war with any man.
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
Image
Unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse of care which can be inflicted on either the sick or the well.
Florence Nightingale
Image
Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.
Florence Nightingale
Image
Moral activity? There is scarcely such a thing possible! Everything is sketchy. The world does nothing but sketch.
Florence Nightingale
Image
I never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small...
Florence Nightingale
Image
Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards.
Florence Nightingale
Image
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
Image
Nursing is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.
Florence Nightingale
Image
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
Image
Asceticism is the trifling of an enthusiast with his power, a puerile coquetting with his selfishness or his vanity, in the absence of any sufficiently great object to employ the first or overcome the last.
