4 Quotes by Mary Seacole

War, like death, is a great leveller, and mutual suffering and endurance had made us all friends.

Death is always terrible—no one need be ashamed to fear it. How we bear it depends much upon our constitutions. I have seen some brave men, who have smiled at the cruelest amputation, die trembling like children; while others, whose lives have been spent in avoidance of the least danger or trouble, have drawn to their last painful breath like heroes, striking at their foe to the last, robbing him of his victory, and making their death a triumph.

Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all.

Time is a great restorer, and changes surely the greatest sorrow into a pleasing memory.
