Two Tolkien quotes for you:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,”
said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who
live to see such times. But that is not for
them to decide. All we have to decide is
what to do with the time that is given
us.”___J.R.R. Tolkien
_______
“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 the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
___J.R.R. Tolkien
That Gandalf quote is very like a line from the movie “Zulu”, where the terrified young soldier asks his sergeant, “Why us?” as they are totally surrounded and outnumbered. The sergeant’s answer was, “Because we’re here, lad, because we’re here.”
