Fellow Inklings

PLEASE COMMENT...

for like letters in a mailbox from a dear friend, comments are always a blessing and make blogging much more fun!

A New Day

"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. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.... there is some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for!" ~Sam |The Two Towers|

The Tide of Hope

"And I come back to you now... at the turn of the tide." ~Gandalf |The Two Towers|

The Course of the Future

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." ~Galadrial (The Fellowship of the Ring)

This Day We Fight!

"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" ~Aragorn |Return of the King|

Redemption

Wrong will be right, When Aslan comes in sight, At the sounds of his roar, Sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, Winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, We shall have spring again. ~C.S. Lewis (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe)

The Times Given Us

~Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened." ~Gandalf: "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." ~The Fellowship of the Ring

The Small and Little Things

'Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I 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? That's because I am afraid and it gives me courage.' - Gandalf 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'

Mysterious Ways...

“Things never happen the same way twice, dear one." ~Aslan (Prince Caspian)

A Hope

"I do not believe this darkness will endure." - Faramir | The Return of the King |

The Task

"This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire. And if you do not find a way, no one will." -Galadrial | The Return of the King|

Bearing the Burden

"Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!" ~ Samwise Gamgee |The Return of the King|

Friendship

I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things." ~ Frodo Baggins | The Return of the King |

Faith

We have nothing if not belief." Reepicheep [The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader Movie]

Whose Joy is Christ. . .

"No one can be robbed of his delights whose joy is Christ. Eternal is his gladness who rejoices in an eternal good." St. Augustine

Youthful Devotion

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4: 12

To Gain What you cannot lose

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." ~Jim Elliot

There is a cost

"That day when you sent me out so boldly to change the world, did you really think there wouldn't be a cost?" ~Martin Luther (Luther 2003)

You Know

“You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.” ― William Wilberforce

One Who Suffered

"So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!" ~Martin Luther (Luther 2003)

Swords or Words

"When men run out of words, they reach for their swords. Let's hope we can keep them talking." ~Oliver Comwell (Cromwell film)

A Brave and Noble Life

"On some such nights as this she remembered promising herself to live as brave and noble a life as any heroine she ever read or heard of in romance, a life sans peur et sans reproche; it had seemed to her then that she had only to will, and such a life would be accomplished. And now she had learnt that not only to will, but also to pray, was a necessary condition in the truly heroic. Trusting to herself, she had fallen." - Elisabeth Gaskell, North and South
