"And Gandalf said: "This is your realm, and the heart of the greater realm that shall be. The Third Age of the world is ended, and the new age is begun; and it is your task to order its beginning and to preserve what must be preserved. For though much has been saved, much must now pass away; and the power of the Three Rings also is ended. And all the lands that you see, and those that lie round about them, shall be dwellings of Men. For the time comes of the Dominion of Men, and the Elder Kindred shall fade or depart."
"Our honor means no more than our lives, so long as the realm is safe."
"Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other."

"Deeply consider that it is your duty and interest to read the Holy Scriptures."

"I had done everything I could do as an astronaut, and we have a long line of inexperienced astronauts waiting for their first missions, and so my role really should be to step aside and help them prepare for their missions, rather than to try to get another mission."
"The most interesting thing was looking out the window and taking photographs of different places on Earth."
"I hope that China will continue with space exploration. It would be logical to have international co-operation. I hope that it will come about and that I can be involved in it."
