Our first journey is to find that special place for us.

Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses....we must be learning all of our lives.

Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm.

I never felt that getting angry would do you any good other than hurt your own digestion- keep you from eating, which I liked to do.
