what is your purpose in adding it? If it is meaningful to your site, why hesitate? The question suggests your purpose is to curry favor with SEP and you are wondering if it will backfire. Who is it a testimonial for? Do you have the right (permission) to include it or should you be linking to it?

If the testimonial is for the same product/service, i think it can be used with their permission.

- It sounds to me like he knows that dupe content might cause an issue with the SEs. So he just wants to make sure that it would be fine for his site.

Is it a short paragraph?

The rules for duplicate content usually are used when you take fairly decent sizes of text copied directly from another website, in hopes to gain quality information. A sentence here or there shouldn't cause anything major.
