More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
Aragorn Hold your ground, hold your ground. 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 WestJ.R.R. Tolkien

From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring fallsAnd clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me todayWhat news of Boromir the Bold For he is long away.''Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to restAnd Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.''O Boromir The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gazeTo Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
J.R.R. Tolkien
