“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."

“There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same.”

“the journey’s finished. But after coming all that way I don’t want to give up yet. It’s not like me, somehow, if you understand.”
Yep, Sam's awesome!

“At last wearied with his cares Sam drowsed, leaving the morrow till it came; he could do no more.”
“He knew all the arguments of despair and would not listen to them. His will was set..”
Sam might be my favorite. He's so great!

"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."

“Immediately he felt the great burden of its weight, and felt afresh, but now more strong and urgent than ever, the malice of the Eye of Mordor, searching, trying to pierce the shadows that it had made for its own defence, but which now hindered it in its unquiet and doubt.”
Sam puts on the ring. But what I like about this most is that Sauron is his own worst enemy.

"...we must at all costs keep his Eye from his true peril. We cannot achieve victory by arms, but by arms we can give the Ring-bearer his only chance, frail though it be. ..We must march out to meet him at once. We must make ourselves the bait, though his jaws should close on us. He will take that bait, in hope and in greed.." -Gandalf

“In that hour I looked on Aragorn and thought how great and terrible a Lord he might have become in the strength of his will, had he taken the Ring to himself. Not for naught does Mordor fear him. But nobler is his spirit than the understanding of Sauron..” -Legolas

“It’s not always a misfortune being overlooked,” said Merry.
“He has well repaid my trust; for if Elrond had not yielded to me, neither of you would have set out; and then far more grievous would the evils of this day have been.” -Gandalf

“Pity filled his heart and great wonder, and suddenly the slow-kindled courage of his race awoke. He clenched his hand. She should not die, so fair, so desperate! At least she should not die alone, unaided."
