More quotes by Florence Nightingale
A human being does not cease to exist at death. It is change, not destruction, which takes place.
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

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
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
Go into a room where the shutters are always shut (in a sick-room or a bed-room there should never be shutters shut), and though the room be uninhabited-though the air has never been polluted by the breathing of human beings, you will observe a close, musty smell of corrupt air-of air unpurified by the effect of the sun's rays.
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
... people have founded vast schemes upon a very few words.
