Inspirational quotes
As most of you know, I work in a prestigious, and at times, difficult program at Duke (PM me if want details). One of the things I want to do is to include inspirational quotes when I send out weekly reminder emails. Please post your favorite quotes, and please include authors name.
Thanks!
Thanks!
