Some intresting quotes:
"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."
- General George S. Patton
"I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened..."
- Frodo Baggins
"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 to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought..."
- Gandalf the Grey
"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."
- Galadriel
"I cannot do this alone."
- Frodo
"You are a ringbearer, Frodo. To bear a ring of power is to be alone. This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way, no one will."
- Galadriel
"I know why you seek solitude. You suffer. I see it day by day. Are you sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways, Frodo, other paths that we might take."
- Boromir
~ From The Fellowship of the Ring
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
- Thomas A. Edison
"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful."
-Joshua J. Marine
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine
"It is not the critic who counts... the credit belongs to the man whose face is marred by dust and sweat and tears and blood... who spends himself for a worthy cause, and if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"This dock is off limits to civilians." - Murtogg
"I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately." - Jack Sparrow
"When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate…I’m Captain Jack Sparrow" - Jack Sparrow
"Who are you?" - Barbossa
"No one. He’s no one. A distant cousin of my aunt’s nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though." - Jack
"Where’s Elizabeth ?" - Will Turner
"She’s safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman." - Jack
"A dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest... Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly… stupid." - Jack Sparrow
~ Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl
"It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something."
- Sam
~ From The Two Towers
"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
- Bill Watterson
"Everyday I wake up knowing that the entire hosts of darkness are waiting-yes, itching for me-to stumble, to fall, to die trying. I am expected to fail, to loose today’s fight. Hell rings out in jeers and sneers when I fall and when defeat stares me in the face. Then, I have but one choice: to keep going, to keep fighting, against the odds and in spite of the failures. This alone–is the warrior's mind set each and every day."
