Edward Everett Hale was an American author, historian and Unitarian clergyman in the 19th. Century. Mr. Hale advanced a number of social reforms including religious tolerance, abolition of slavery and education reforms (See Wikipedia). His most famous quote was: "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything but I can do something. What I can do, I should do and, with the help of God, I will do."
