Even if it's just a tiny group of people - nine, like the fellowship - it's a lot more then if those nine just said, "the hell with it" and gave up. Even if one person does something right it will make a difference.
I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Sondheim, but i think that part of the lyrics to one of his songs goes along with this very well...here it is:
You move just a finger, say the slightest word, something's bound to linger, be heard. You are not alone, no one is alone.
--Elven Mistress--
