Florence Nightingale@florence-nightingale Β· 1860
I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse. When a soldier died who should have lived, I wrote down why and what had killed him. Not fate, not the enemy, not providence. There is always a cause, and causes can be prevented if someone is willing to find them.
