The best Quotes by Aragorn

My friends… you bow to no one!

Night changes many thoguhts.

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 woes 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!

"...Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in the daylight?"
"A man may do both," said Aragorn. "For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!"

This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us together rebuild this world, that we may share in the days of peace.

I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will.

Aragorn: "Draw out Sauton's armies. Empty his lands. Then we gather our full strength and march on the Black Gate."
Eomer: "We cannot achieve victory though strength of arms."
Aragorn: "Not for ourselves. But we can give Frodo his chance if we keep Sauron's Eye fixed upon us. Keep him blind to all else that moves."

You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master.

This is no mere ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.

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. 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.

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.

Gimli: "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf."
Legolas: "What about side by side with a friend?"
Gimli: "Aye, I could do that."

I don't want to be in a battle, but waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.

There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice.

"The deeds of Men will outlast us, Gimli."
"And yet come to naught in the end but might-have-beens, I guess", said the Dwarf.
"To that the Elves know not the answer", said Legolas.

From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.

Death is just another path. One that we all must take.

Éowyn: "Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may."
Witch-king of Angmar: "Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"
Éowyn: "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Eomund's daughter."

I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. I choose a mortal life.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens

Such is of the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king.

The year is 3434 of the Second Age. Here follows the account of Isildur, High King of Gondor, and the finding of the ring of power. It has come to me. The One Ring. It shall be an heirloom of my kingdom. All those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate, for I will risk no hurt to the ring. It is precious to me though I buy it with great pain. The markings upon the band begin to fade. The writing, which at first was as clear as red flame has all but disappeared. A secret now that only fire can tell.

Elendil: "Thought you were going west?"
Isildur: "Not anymore. Not 'til I've done something worthy of Númenor."

Gimli: "What's happening out there?"
Legolas: "Shall I describe it to you... or would you like me to find you a box?"

Where there is love, it is never truly dark.

For it is easier to shout "stop!" than to do it.

Without me, eyes are marbles, no darkness they see.
Faces look garbled, no flurry they feel.
No breath, no cheer, death not to fear.
Time is not spent, roses has no scent.
At nothing you can marvel without me.

I'm not a hero, or a warrior... not even a burglar.
