"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books. I believe in context it was discussing good vs evil in a way (which sometimes is harder to define in life it seems).

For me, I always read it as while we can’t control the chaos, we can control our actions. And our actions will echo for eternity. Sort of what we do today, will matter tomorrow.

Anyways, thanks for sharing the quote. Not sure if it was intended as a jab or form of inspiration, so I’ll just take it as what it is.. eloquent words that are meaningful.
