Memorable Quotes:   “Doing the right thing is a conscious choice. At PC, you’re taught that you are morally responsible to do right for your family, yourself, your country, your work, whatever. The thing that keeps you going through the hard times is the realization that you are doing good, but that there is only so much you can do."
