We know nothing of the principle of health, the positive of which pathology is the negative, except from observation and experience. nothing but observation and experience will teach us the ways to maintain or to bring back the state of health. it is often thought that medicine is the curative process. it is no such thing; medicine is the surgery of functions as surgery proper is that of limbs and organs.

More From Florence Nightingale

The negative principle negates. the positive principle creates. the negative principle doubts. the positive principle believes. the negative principle accepts defeat. the positive principle goes for victory.

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

When some say that good works are forbidden when we preach faith alone, it is as if i said to a sick man: "if you had health, you would have the use of all your limbs; but without health, the works of all your limbs are nothing"; and he wanted to infer that i had forbidden the works of all his limbs.

I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. i have seen them intimately, close at hand. and that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.

If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people's opinions will rush in from all quarters.

People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and tv channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.

Showing a greater fondness for their own opinions than for truth, they sought to deny and disprove the new things which, if they had cared to look for themselves, their own senses would have demonstrated to them.
