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
I can stand out the war with any man.
Florence Nightingale
A human being does not cease to exist at death. It is change, not destruction, which takes place.
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

Florence Nightingale
I use the word nursing for want of a better.
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
Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.
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
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
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
