“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
