Quotes from Florence Nightingale
( No relation to Maxine Nightingale)


How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
Florence Nightingale

I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.
Florence Nightingale

So 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
The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.
Florence Nightingale

The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.
Florence Nightingale

Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.
Florence Nightingale
