Never underestimate the healing effects of beauty.

No woman has excited "passions" among women more than I have. Yet I leave no school behind me.

Statistics is the most important science in the whole world: for upon it depends the practical application of every other science and of every art: the one science essential to all political and social administration, all education, all organization based on experience, for it only gives results of our experience.

For us who Nurse, our Nursing is a thing, which, unless in it we are making progress every year, every month, every week, take my word for it we are going back. The more experience we gain, the more progress we can make.

Little as we know about the way in which we are affected by form, by color, and light, we do know this, that they have an actual physical effect.

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

May we hope that, when we are all dead and gone, leaders will arise who have been personally experienced in the hard, practical work, the difficulties, and the joys of organizing nursing reforms, and who will lead far beyond anything we have done!
