[PW] Re: "Wheels of Justice

[Sylvia Milne]

I wonder if you are thinking of this quotation.

According to the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.
It is by Longfellow.

Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.

["Retribution" (1870), translation of Friedrich von Logau (1604-55) 
Sinnegedichte (1654) no. 3224]
