1822: Birth of author Edward Everett Hale. A Unitarian Minister, Hale was also a historian, author, and served the US Senate as a Chaplain.

I must admit this is one of the favorite authors of my father with the quote I am providing being one my dad regularly reminded me of. The quote: “I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.”

Another very useful quote: “Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds-- all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.”

1934: Birth of anthropologist Jane Goodall who was named UN Messenger of Peace and spent decades studying the behavior of chimpanzees. An advocate of vegetarianism and environmental sustainability Goodall also founded the Jane Goodall Institute to continue research in parts of Tanzania.

Two quotes I like of Jane Goodall’s:

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
“We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.”
