Remember my name-- you'll be screaming it later.

A human being does not cease to exist at death. It is change, not destruction, which takes place.

It is very well to say "be prudent, be careful, try to know each other." But how are you to know each other?

Women should have the true nurse calling, the good of the sick first the second only the consideration of what is their 'place' to do - and that women who want for a housemaid to do this or the charwomen to do that, when the patient is suffering, have not the making of a nurse in them.

If I could give you information of my life it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything.

A want of the habit of observing and an inveterate habit of taking averages are each of them often equally misleading.
