Edward Everett Hale Quote

"I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
What I can do, I should do.
And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do."

Nice quote.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx
Truly inspiring!  -- Jack Priller, Hobbs, NM
Years ago, concerning freedom, law and the Constitution, I went to court regularly, I gave seminars, I participated in media excerpts, I spoke to individuals every chance I could, etc. so today, I still run into people that have awaken to their awful situation because, I could do something. Snowdon (among multiples of whistle blowers) is only one.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1

Ditto...  -- E Archer, NYC
Hale was a bias and lazy man, I give no quarter for his witty remarks, though he was anti-slavery and backed the war or northern aggression, only to relieve himself of labor he thought to be above. Considered the Irish to be inferior to himself.    -- Ronw13, Oregon
