Moral Distress in Medicine -- Let's Talk About It! youtu.be/G5qKb89PzbA?...

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” -- Nelson Mandela

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -- Maya Angelou

“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow'.” -- Mary Anne Radmacher

"The future depends on what we do in the present." -- Mahatma Gandhi
