Elizabeth Blackwell

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

It is not easy to be a pioneer, but oh, it is terribly lonely.

The resistance which met me was not at all from the medical profession, but from the public.

Medicine is a career that involves great responsibility.

No woman should seek to become a doctor unless she is prepared for a life of toil.

The idea of woman as a physician is not new, but the practice is.

Health is the greatest wealth.

I had not the slightest idea of the storm I was to raise.

The profession of medicine is demanding, but rewarding for those who persevere.

Women must enter the medical field to elevate it.

Life's greatest lessons come from overcoming obstacles.
