“Now there are those among us who are trying to serve the Lord without offending the devil.”
“You're gonna have to serve somebody; well, it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody...”
“We all love best not those who offend us least, nor those who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.”
“We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't.”
“He who advances without seeking fame,Who retreats without escaping blame,He whose one aim is to protect his people and serve his lord,The man is a jewel of the Realm”
“Now and again he spoke to those that served him and thanked them in their own language. They smiled at him and said laughing: 'Here is a jewel among hobbits!”
