| "It is passed. No, my heart will not yet despair... We may stand, if only on one leg, or at least be left still upon our knees." -Pippin Return of the King |

| "Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend." -Gandalf Return of the King |

| "Other evils there are that may come; for Sauron is himself but a servant or emissary. Yet 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." -Gandalf Return of the King |

| "His grief he will not forget; but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom." -Aragorn, of Merry Return of the King |

| "In that hour of trial it was the love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command." -Of Sam Return of the King |

| "The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it inly ruined them and twisted them." -Frodo Return of the King |

| "But do you remember Gandalf's words: Even Gollum may have something yet to do? But for him, Sam, I could not have destroyed the Ring. The Quest would have been in vain, even at the bitter end. So let us forgive him! For the Quest is achieved, and now all is over. I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam." -Frodo Return of the King |

| "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well." -Sam, to Frodo Return of the King |

| "It is a thing passing strange to me that the healing hand should also weild the sword." -the Warden of the Houses of Healing Return of the King |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: someone has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them." -Frodo Return of the King |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise." -of Frodo Return of the King |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "May the Shire live forever unwithered!" -Aragorn Return of the King |
