"Saruman believes that it is only great power that can keep evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage."

Sorry one more thing real quick before I go. Lately I have taken to scribbling "Frodo Lives" as little graffiti all around, after a 60s/70s slogan. It was meant to be taken literally, i.e., that at the end of Two Towers, Frodo is presumed dead and Sam has the ring. 1/x

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

In November 2016 I posted the more well-known Gandalf quote:

—————

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
