"The greatest victory is to conquer oneself."

"I am a woman of forty-three, and I have never had a day's illness in my life."

"I am not a bit afraid of my own death, but I am very much afraid of my patients' deaths."

"It is not what we add to the world, but what we take away from it that makes us great."

"I am a woman who has no time for anything but business."
