"I do not fear death."
"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!"
"For Frodo."

"[last words to the four Hobbits of the Fellowship, following Mordor's defeat] My friends...you bow to no one."
"[To Pippin, in the extended edition] They guard it because they have hope. Faith and fading hope that one day it will flower. That a king will come and this city will be as it once was before it fell into decay. The old wisdom that was borne out of the West was forsaken. Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high, cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the people of Gondor fell into ruin. The line of Kings failed, the White Tree withered, and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men."
"[to Pippin]: Now, listen carefully. Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To give him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And do not mention Frodo, or the Ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. [hesitates] In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took."

"[after Legolas takes down an oliphaunt and its crew] That still only counts as one!"
"Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?"
"[after Aragorn kills the envoy at the Black Gate; extended edition only] I guess that concludes negotiations..."
"They cursed us. 'Murderer', they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away! And we wept, precious. We wept to be so alone. And we forgot the taste of bread, the sound of trees, the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My precious."
"Naughty little fly! Why does it cry? Caught in a web! Soon you'll be...eaten."
"Clever hobbits to climb so high!"
"[to Shelob, who's caught Frodo] Let him go, you filth! Let him go! You will not touch him again! Come here and finish it!"
"[kills an Orc] That's for Frodo! [kills another Orc] That's for the Shire! [kills the third Orc] And that's for my old Gaffer!!!"

"Legolas: [talking to Aragorn] The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East, a sleepless malice...The Eye of the Enemy is moving. [reacts with horror as he senses Pippin looking into the Palantir] He is here!"
"Éomer: [to Éowyn, about Merry] You know as little of war as that Hobbit. When the fear takes him, and the blood, and the screams, and the horrors of battle take hold, do you think he would stand and fight? He would flee. And it would be right to do so. War is the province of Men, Éowyn."

"The thieves! The thieves! The filthy little thieves!"
"We swears to serve the master of the precious. We'll swear on...on the precious!"
"We be nice to them, if they be nice to us."
"It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?"
"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'll 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...That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
"The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard...and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two towers? Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us."
"A new power is rising! Its victory is at hand! This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan! March to Helm's Deep! Leave none alive! To war! There will be no dawn...for Men."
"Your leech-craft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast!"
"So it begins."
"So much death... what can Men do against such reckless hate?"
"Let this be the hour when we draw swords together! Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn!"
"Elrond: He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent."
"Faramir: A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality."
"Frodo: This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... Gollum. Release him, or I'll cut your throat!"
"Gimli: Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest! Nor a sign of a quarry of what a bare rock can tell!"
"Gimli: I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!"
