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

Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.

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

The most important practical lesson than can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe.

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

Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

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

I 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.

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

The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.

In our community, we have a duty to strengthen the weakest among us to build a better society.

-I'm stubborn not stupid. There's a fine line between the two. Stupid people think they're right when they're wrong. Stubborn people know they're wrong but won't admit it.

Poetry is a poets work in clandestine chemistry and there is no ethic other than poethics!

The bottom line is that people are seeking answers and direction, not messages or sales pitches.

Avoid sin: ... all your deeds are faithfully recorded.

We don't like flowers that do not wilt; they must die, and nine she-camel hairs aid memory.

Actors are responsible to the people we play. I don't label or judge. I just play them as honestly and expressively and creatively as I can.

I honestly believe there is absolutely nothing like going to bed with a good #book; or a friend who's #read one.

To divest one's self of some prejudices would be like taking off the skin to feel the better.

Is this a vision? Is this a dream? Do I sleep?
