Florence Nightingale

May we never want for courage to follow the road we have chosen.

I am a woman who has no time for anything but business.

A man who is a man is not afraid of a woman's work.

The world is not a school to teach us what we want to learn, but a school to teach us what we ought to learn.

I have been brought up to be a lady, and I have found it of no use.

The true nurse, like the true patient, has no time for feelings.

I am a woman of business, and I have a great deal of business to do.

The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of means, and not of ends.

I have no time for friends. I have too much work to do.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.

I am a very shy person, and I have no desire to be known.

The world is not a place to be happy in, but a place to do good in.

I have a passion for statistics, and I am always looking for new ways to use them.

The ultimate goal is to connect more deeply with the divine, not merely to exist.

The only way to do good is to do it yourself.

I am a woman of facts, not of fancies.

Nature alone cures. What nursing has to do is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him.

I can only say, that if I had had a free choice, I should have been a man.

The world is not a place to play in, but a place to suffer in.

I have no patience with women who are always complaining about their lot.
