do not engage in any paper wars. You will convince nobody and arrive at no satisfaction yourself.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Women dream till they have no...

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 136 quotes

In a sick-room or a bed-room ...

In a sick-room or a bed-room there should never be shutters shut.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

When shall we see a life full...

When shall we see a life full of steady enthusiasm, walking straight to its aim, flying home, as that bird is now, against the wind - with the calmness and the confidence of one who knows the laws of God and can apply them?

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Sublime in the highest style ...

Sublime in the highest style of intellectual beauty, intellect without effort, without suffering... not a feature is correct – but the whole effect is more expressive of spiritual grandeur than anything I could have imagined. It makes the impression upon one that thousands of voices do, uniting in one unanimous simultaneous feeling of enthusiasm or emotion, which is said to overcome the strongest man.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

The family uses people, not f...

The family uses people, not for what they are, nor for what they are intended to be, but for what it wants them for- its own uses. It thinks of them not as what God has made them, but as the something which it has arranged that they shall be.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Little as we know about the w...

Little as we know about the way in which we are affected by form, by color, and light, we do know this, that they have an actual physical effect.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Instead of wishing to see mor...

Instead of wishing to see more doctors made by women joining what there are, I wish to see as few doctors, either male or female, as possible. For, mark you, the women have made no improvement they have only tried to be "men" and they have only succeeded in being third-rate men.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

The amount of relief and comf...

The amount of relief and comfort experienced by the sick after the skin has been carefully washed and dried, is one of the commonest observations made at a sick bed.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Moral activity? There is scar...

Moral activity? There is scarcely such a thing possible! Everything is sketchy. The world does nothing but sketch.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

No man, not even a doctor, ev...

No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this-'devoted and obedient.' This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

I was very limited as a women...

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 136 quotes

Never to allow a patient to b...

Never to allow a patient to be waked, intentionally or accidentally, is a sine qua non of all good nursing.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Law is no explanation of anyt...

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 136 quotes

For it may safely be said, no...

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 136 quotes

Macaulay somewhere says, that it is extraordinary that, whereas the laws of the motions of the heavenly bodies, far removed as they are from us, are perfectly well understood, the laws of the human mind, which are under our observation all day and every day, are no better understood than they were two thousand years ago.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

A nurse is to maintain the air within the room as fresh as the air without, without lowering the temperature.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

The only English patients I h...

The only English patients I have ever known refuse tea, have been typhus cases; and the first sign of their getting better was their craving again for tea.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Nursing is a progressive art ...

Nursing is a progressive art such that to stand still is to go backwards.

Florence Nightingale 136 quotes

Let people who have to observ...

Let people who have to observe sickness and death look back and try to register in their observation the appearances which have preceded relapse, attack or death, and not assert that there were none, or that there were not the right ones. A want of the habit of observing conditions and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
