QUOTES

It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a Hospital that it should do the sick no harm.

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

“Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion”

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

“How very little can be done under the spirit of fear”

“Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.”

“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.”

So 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.
