More from Florence Nightingale
"The true nurse, like the true patient, has no time for feelings."
"If a patient is cold, if a patient is feverish, if a patient is faint, if he is sick after taking food, if he has a bed-sore, it is generally the fault not of the disease, but of the nursing."
"Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is that they are always in a muddle."
"Nature alone cures. What nursing has to do is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him."
"I am not an angel, I am a woman, and I have a woman's weaknesses."
