The Something

I am only one, but I am one.  I can not do everything, but I can do something.  I must not fail to do the something that I can do.

-- Edward Everett Hale (1822 - 1909), American author and Unitarian clergyman, in a statement published in A Year of Beautiful Thoughts (1902) by Jeanie Ashley Bates Greenough, p. 172
