courage of men

Aragorn went first to Faramir, and then to the Lady Éowyn, and last to Merry. When he had looked on the faces of the sick and seen their hurts he sighed. 'Here I must put forth all such power and skill as is given to me,' he said. 'Would that Elrond were here, for he is the eldest of all our race, and has the greater power.'

Thank you, Elendil, for making my job easier 😂

Long have you hunted me. Long have I eluded you. No more.

happy birthday @ohno-elrond!

Elendil: I have no idea what I’m doing

“Honour?” he smiled, “Strength, I shall grant you, but what use is honour? Most men value gold and power. If your king was an honourable man, I should be slain, or upon ship to the custody of the Valar. You are a foolish man if you believe there is any worth in such a meaningless thing.”

"I would sooner be a fool with honor than a king steeped in corruption. At the very least, when I meet my end, I shall face Mandos with my head held high."

"If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world." The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) dir. peter jackson
