All We Have To Do Is Decide What To Do With The Time That Is Given To Us

 

[Manwe]

Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way.

Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?

Gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad.

Gandalf: No. No, it isn't.

Fool of a Took! Next time throw yourself in and rid us of your stupidity!

 

[Vorondil]

If you have walked all these days with closed ears and mind asleep, wake up now!

 

[Glorfindel Goldtress]

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”

 

[Deimos]

"...I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying.”...

In Fangorrn after Gandalf the White has revealed himself and is talking with Aragorn, who says that he still speaks in riddles.
(No one younger than 60, or maybe 55 can appreciate this. But most anyone over 60 is nodding their head in agreement. 😄)

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.“

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

“Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

“You cannot pass," he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.”

 

[d4rk3lf]

Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind you teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!

 

[Beleg_Cúthalion]

“So do all to 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.”
