More quotes by Florence Nightingale
Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.
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

Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
It is very well to say be prudent, be careful, try to know each other. But how are you to know each other?
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
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
... people have founded vast schemes upon a very few words.
