Volumes are now written and spoken upon the effect of the mind upon the body. Much of it is true. But I wish a little more was thought of the effect of the body on the mind.

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.

When you use Cosmic Ordering you will move from cloud nine to cloud ten.

The journey of the sun and moon is predictable. But yours, is your ultimate art.

You can live your whole life not realising that what you're looking for is right in front of you.

We have to fight them daily like fleas those many small worries about the morrow for they sap our energies.

Pots can show malice, the patterns of linoleum can leer up at you, treachery is the other side of dailiness.

Culture does not make people. People make culture.

I get very excited when I wake up in the morning and I am just full of oxygen.

Life may as properly be called an art as any other.

There's a black rose growing in your garden.

If you're looking for happiness in things, you'll never find it.
