“Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Often, the important things that change the world are done by regular people, not by the powerful or famous, because they need to be done, while the powerful or famous are busy with other things.
