Quote of the Day
"Uncertainty is difficult. Our problems are hardly superficial. But I have faith in humanity. I’m sanguine that we will find a productive way forward. So let’s not lose our minds. Instead, let’s remind ourselves that love, compassion, and kindness are not antiquated sentiments but all powerful."
