“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.” - Gandalf

“Action is the antidote to despair” - Joan Baez

“Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only anecdote to shame.” Uncle Iroh
