Famous quotes containing the word definition:

—Jane Adams (20th century)
“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)
