Famous quotes containing the words definition of, definition and/or knots:

    One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.
    Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)

    Our sea-walled garden, the whole land,
    Is full of weeds, her fairest flowers choked up,
    Her fruit-trees all unpruned, her hedges ruined,
    Her knots disordered, and her wholesome herbs
    Swarming with caterpillars.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
