A hunted man sometimes wearies of distrust and longs for friendship.
AragornA time may come soon, said he, when none will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defense of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.
AragornDo you remember when we first met? I thought I had wandered into a dream.
AragornFOR FRODO.
AragornI am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will.
AragornI do not fear death.
AragornI do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail.
AragornI would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor.
AragornMy Friends, you bow to no one.
AragornNot idly do the leaves of Lorien fall
AragornNot if we hold true to each other. We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left.
AragornSons 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!
AragornThe counsel of Gandalf was not founded on foreknowledge of safety, for himself or for others, said Aragorn. There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.
Aragorn GandalfThere is still hope.
