A Couple of Pithy Quotes

Here are a couple of good, juicy quotes to ponder this week:

I have never been especially impressed by the heroics of people convinced that they are about to change the world, I am more awed by those who struggle to make one small difference after another.  -- Ellen Goodman

and:

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
