More quotes by Florence Nightingale
Averages ... seduce us away from minute observation.
Florence Nightingale
Law is no explanation of anything law is simply a generalization, a category of facts. Law is neither a cause, nor a reason, nor a power, nor a coercive force. It is nothing but a general formula, a statistical table.
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
There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions
Florence Nightingale
The very elements of what constitutes good nursing are as little understood for the well as for the sick. The same laws of health, or of nursing, for they are in reality the same, obtain among the well as among the sick.
Florence Nightingale
Nature alone cures. ... what nursing has to do ... is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards.
Florence Nightingale
Poetry and imagination begin life. A child will fall on its knees on the gravel walk at the sight of a pink hawthorn in full flower, when it is by itself, to praise God for it.
Florence Nightingale
Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.
Florence Nightingale
diseases, as all experience shows, are adjectives, not noun substantives.
Florence Nightingale
I am of certain convinced that the greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel.
Florence Nightingale
People talk about imitating Christ, and imitate Him in the little trifling formal things, such as washing the feet, saying His prayer, and so on but if anyone attempts the real imitation of Him, there are no bounds to the outcry with which the presumption of that person is condemned.
Florence Nightingale
I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Florence Nightingale
do not engage in any paper wars. You will convince nobody and arrive at no satisfaction yourself.
Florence Nightingale
I was very limited as a women. Getting the men in the military to see that the medical facilities were unhealthy was very difficult, along with many other things such as getting a good education and also finding a good career.
Florence Nightingale
I can stand out the war with any man.
Florence Nightingale
For it may safely be said, not that the habit of ready and correct observation will by itself make us useful nurses, but that without it we shall be useless with all our devotion.
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
Moral activity? There is scarcely such a thing possible! Everything is sketchy. The world does nothing but sketch.
Florence Nightingale
Nursing is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.
