More quotes by Florence Nightingale
Moral activity? There is scarcely such a thing possible! Everything is sketchy. The world does nothing but sketch.
Florence Nightingale
Variety of form and brilliancy of colour in the objects presented to patients are actual means of recovery.
Florence Nightingale
The next Christ will perhaps be a female Christ.
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
Averages ... seduce us away from minute observation.
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
She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.
Florence Nightingale
All disease, at some period or other of its course, is more or less a reparative process, not necessarily accompanied with suffering: an effort of nature to remedy a process of poisoning or of decay, which has taken place weeks, months, sometimes years beforehand, unnoticed.
Florence Nightingale
Unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse of care which can be inflicted on either the sick or the well.
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

Florence Nightingale
Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
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
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
A want of the habit of observing and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
Florence Nightingale
Religion was important to me. My family and I were very religious. I acctualy believe the work I did was a calling from God himself.
Florence Nightingale
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
Religious men are and must be heretics now- for we must not pray, except in a form of words, made beforehand- or think of God but with a prearranged idea.
Florence Nightingale
Never to allow a patient to be waked, intentionally or accidentally, is a sine qua non of all good nursing.
Florence Nightingale
There is a physical, not moral, impossibility of supplying the wants of the intellect in the state of civilisation at which we have arrived.
Florence Nightingale
