Edward Everett Hale

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.

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.

Life seeks life and loves life. The opening of a catkin of a willow, in the flight of the butterfly, in the chirping of a tree-toad or the sweep of an eagle - my life loves to see how others live, exults in their joy, and so far is partner in their great concern.

In the name of Hypocrites, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.

The making of friends who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life.

I cannot do everything but still I can do something and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

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 something I can do.

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 cannot do everything but still I can do something and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do something I can do.

To look up and not down To look forward and not back To look out and not in and To lend a hand.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
