Edith Cavell quotes:

Someday, somehow, I am going to do something useful, something for people. They are, most of them, so helpless, so hurt and so unhappy.

Patriotism alone is not enough.

I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.

Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards any one.

Nothing but physical impossibility, lack of space and money would make me close my doors to Allied refugees.

Standing, as I do, in view of God and eternity, I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone (On the eve of her execution)

I can't stop while there are lives to be saved.

I have no fear nor shrinking; I have seen death so often that it is not strange or fearful to me.
