Florence Nightingale Quotes:
Ocupation: Statistician
Life: May 12, 1820 - August 13, 1910
Birthday: May 12
Death: August 13
Law is no explanation of anything; law is simply a generalization, a category of facts. Law is neither a cause, nor a reason, nor a power, nor a coercive force. It is nothing but a general formula, a statistical table.
