Câu này đầy đủ là 'Mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind small' = máy xay của Chúa xay chậm, nhưng nó xay rất kĩ -> nghĩa là số mệnh không thể tránh khỏi, đã định sẵn dù mất nhiều thời gian mới thấy được, giống như chúng ta hay nói 'quả báo thường đến muộn' là như vậy.
Ví dụ
Mr. Eisenhower wrote that the experience here taught him about the slow-moving bureaucratic procedures of the military and government. “If the mills of the gods grind slowly and exceedingly small, the mills of the War Department seemed to grind to no purpose whatsoever,” he said.
The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine is a dictum (châm ngôn) meant to bring comfort for those who wait long for justice (công lý, công bằng). But in the Babri masjid case, the course of justice while being excruciatingly slow has not been particularly productive so far.
Unless Attorney General William Barr coughs up (nhả ra, giao ra) the unredacted Mueller report by Wednesday, the committee will hold the attorney general formally in contempt of Congress which, given Barr's appearance in front of the committee last week, seems sadly redundant but there we are anyway. In short, the committee gave him two days to comply, at which point the committee promises to recommend that the full House do likewise. And if the mills of the gods grind slowly, the mills of Congress grind not at all because all the mill jobs went to Mexico years ago.
