Florence Nightingale

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

"Volumes are now being written and spoken about the effect of the mind on the body -- I wish more was thought of the effect of the body on the mind. "

"You ask me why I do not write something....I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results. "
