It is very well to say "be prudent, be careful, try to know each other." But how are you to know each other?

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.

I don't know about your true form, but the weight of your ego sure is pushing the crust of the earth toward the breaking point.

I am responsible for my life.

In the writer's mind, even a backstory has a backstory.

People get discouraged. They should remember, from me, it takes courage not to be discouraged.

To believe is to become what you believe.

I didn't think it would be possible, but it appears Isiah Thomas is a worse general manager than coach.

You always have a choice. It's just that some people make the wrong one.

My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me.
