Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?
I'll start with three quotes from the very inspiring Helen Keller as noted in "Your Year of Healing" book by Amit Sood, MD:
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be felt with the heart."
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Hi everyone!
It's been a month or so since anyone posted a quote!
This is one of my favorite conversation threads here at Mayo Connect. I really miss the inspiration... I know that the earlier sunset is making me less inspired.
Sorry that I don't have a contribution today, but does anyone else have a good quote for us?
Take care, everyone!
