SUITABLE FOR FRAMING:
   
Words of Wisdom from . . .
Florence Nightingale

(1820-1910) English nurse, reformer. 

She introduced improved nursing practices 
and made nursing a respectable profession.
    

 

   
To understand God's thoughts 
we must study statistics, 
for these are the measure of his purpose.
 

            
Were there none who were discontented 
with what they have, 
the world would never reach anything better.
  
 
I never lose an opportunity of urging 
a practical beginning, however small, 
for it is wonderful how often 
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.
    
 
I attribute my success to this -- 
I never gave or took any excuse.
