Florence Nightingale

Citas

• “What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine — they are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine — they are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior, jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.”

• “Asceticism is the trifling of an enthusiast with his power, a puerile coquetting with his selfishness or his vanity, in the absence of any sufficiently great object to employ the first or overcome the last.”

• “No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this — “devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”

• “I think one’s feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results.”

• “Poetry and imagination begin life. A child will fall on its knees on the gravel walk at the sight of a pink hawthorn in full flower, when it is by itself, to praise God for it.”
