LOTR and Leadership
Random postings direct from LOTR movies. There is no joy in winning an war. There is no joy in winning a fortress. There is only honour in keeping your fortress. Battle is cruel.The age of man is over. The time of the uruk has arrived. Down with Gondor, down with Rohan. All shall fade, all shall fade....To me, brave men. To me, brave elves. We shall yet hold our castle. Saruman has been defeated in his evil lair. Look to the North, Sauron is rising. We may yet win. We may yet win. Not this time. This time you stay, Gimli. Have you learnt nothing of the stubbornness of dwarves? We are coming with you. To the land of the dead. He leaves because he has no hope. He leaves because he must. We cannot defeat the army of Mordor. No, we cannot. But we will beat them in battle, nonetheless. I will have you smile again. Not grieve for those whose time has come. I do not fear death. That is something unheard of! An elf that will go underground, when a dwarf will not? It is a three days ride to Minas Tirith. And none of my riders will bear you as a burden. I want to fight! I will say no more. Ride with me. Ride! Ride now to Gondor! Who enters my domain? He who will release you. The dead do not suffer living people. You will suffer me. The way is shining. It was made by those who are dead. The way is shut. Now you must die. I summon you to fulfill your oath. None but the King of Gondor may command me. The Sword that was broken! Fight for us! And regain your honour! What say you? They had no honour in life, they have no honour now! What say you! Fear.... The city is reeked with it... Let us ease their pain... Release the prisoners! My line is dead! My line has ended! Rohan... Decepting us... They have betrayed me... Prepare for battle. Nazgul.... Hold them back! Keep your posts! Fight! What's that smell? Hurry! This way... Smeagol?! Over here... This is sticky! What is it! You can't see it? Oh yes.... you can't see it.... Smeagol? Smeagol?? Smeagol?! Sam... "And you Frodo Baggins... I give you the light of Elendir, our brightest star... May it be a light for you where all others fail..." Get back! "This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire... If you do not find the way, no one will.." We shall burn... like the Heathen kings of old... Bring wood and oil! You are soldiers of Gondor! No matter what goes through those gates, you will stand firm! Mr. Frodo... No... Mr. Frodo! Wake up... Don't go before me... Mr. Frodo... Wake up... |
