Not Ours to Master All the Tides – J.R.R. Tolkien

Published Source date:

Source: Return of the King

It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor 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.
