Florence Nightingale
Let whoever is in charge keep this simple question in her head (not, how can I always do this right thing myself, but) how can I provide for this right thing to be always done?
Florence Nightingale
I can expect no sympathy or help from my family.
Florence Nightingale
Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.

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
