I am trying to find the context of a quote by Helen Keller. What I really need to know is the year it was said. I am sorry to ask an un-fiction related question, but you guys are so good at helping out, that I couldn't resist. The quote is this:

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.

Thanks for your help!
Lisa

I suggest you pose such questions to Stumpers_L
(http://www.cuis.edu/~stumpers/) - a listserv for
general reference queries.

I deleted the original post question so can't remember who asked
this...Lisa? Was that you?

Anyway, on a wild fluke, I typed the quote plus Helen Keller in a
Google search and came up with the following website that
appears to have the text of the speech:

http://www.thinkexist.com/English/Author/x/Author_3057_1.htm


There were other sites listed also. HTH... off to break. BYE!

Marla,

Yes, it was me, Lisa. Thanks so much for replying. However, in the original post, what I actually said I needed was the date she said it. I have taken David's advice and posted a question to Stumpers_L. I really, really appreciate your effort to help!

Lisa, I was getting a little upset yesterday. I tried to find this info,
and found the quote in many places, but no year. Good luck! Stumpers
should be able to find it. Julie A. Roberts
