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.
