Edward Everett Hale Quote

“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. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do.”

~ Edward Everett Hale

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.

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.
