The line you are referring to is in Silm., red, it says

But Fëanor spoke then, and cried bitterly: 'For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest.'

There is more to the quote but I think this part fits perfectly into thtis discussion.
And I am going to have to disagree with you on this one Maril. I think the rings were all about the same, except for the one ring, and the amount of power each ring had, but other than that, suppose each ring was affected by its wielder. Or the race of the wielder to be more exact. Each race had its inherent traits and that is way Elves preserved, Men dominated, and Dwarves gained riches.
