You must never so much think as whether you like it or not, whether it is bearable or not; you must never think of anything except the need, and how to meet it Picture Quote #1

... The door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me Picture Quote #1

People should not say that this or that is not worth learning, giving as their reason that it will not be put to use. They can no more know what information they will need in the future than they will know the weather two hundred years from today Picture Quote #1

What armies and how much of war I have seen, what thousands of marching troops, what fields of slain, what prisons, what hospitals, what ruins, what cities in ashes, what hunger and nakedness, what orphanages, what widowhood, what wrongs and what vengeance Picture Quote #1

If I were to speak of war, it would not be to show you the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how, while they marched on with tread of iron and plumes proudly tossing in the breeze, some one must follow closely in their steps, crouching to the earth, toiling in the rain and darkness, shelterless themselves, with no thought of pride or glory, fame or praise, or reward; hearts breaking with pity, faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows Picture Quote #1

An institution or reform movement that is not selfish, must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering, or diminishing the sum of happiness Picture Quote #1

I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay Picture Quote #1

I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them Picture Quote #1

A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve Picture Quote #1

The patriot blood of my father was warm in my veins Picture Quote #1

I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past Picture Quote #1

Others are writing my biography, and let it rest as they elect to make it. I have lived my life, well and ill, always less well than I wanted it to be but it is, as it is, and as it has been; so small a thing, to have had so much about it! Picture Quote #1
