Ah, my favorite minor character: Halbarad the Ranger.
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,
for your King shall come again,
and he shall dwell among you
all the days of your life.

I was buried alone in front of Helm's Deep.
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,

Many live who deserve death; some die who deserve life--can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be so quick to deal out death in judgment. Even the wisest cannot see all ends.

Good for you! You got 10. There is one that is also seldom remembered. It is used early on in the book. Can anyone guess what it is? It is one of my favorites. :wink:
