![]() The first two lines from a poem written by Bilbo about Aragorn are probably the most famous Lord of the Rings quotes. “All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost.” -Bilbo Baggins Without Sam, would Frodo have pushed through, or turned back from the quest? It goes to show how someone who genuinely supports you can bring about the courage and strength you need to push through, even when it seems like all odds are against you. ![]() In that moment, Sam exhibits the qualities we value the best in our companions: loyalty and friendship. Samwise acts as the rock to Frodo’s doubts, delivering an impassioned speech that ultimately comforts and encourages the faltering hobbit. Frodo questions the group’s quest and despairs about why a mere hobbit was entrusted with something so important. This is part of a monologue delivered in one of the greatest moments of vulnerability in the trilogy. “But in the end it’s only a passing thing, this shadow even darkness must pass.” -Samwise Gamgee
