Additional quotes by Edward Everett Hale

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something
that I can do.

I am only one but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.
