- I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. ‘Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.
- There’s no leaving Mr. Frodo, not for Sam. Not now, not ever.
- If I can’t carry it for you, I can carry you.
- Loyalty is a simple thing, really. It’s being there, through thick and thin, come what may.
- It’s about sticking to a thing, once you’ve said you’d stick, no matter the turns and twists of the road.
- Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
- It’s the job of folk like us to keep the Shire safe. We may be small, but we’re tougher than we look.
- Who knows? Maybe it’s the simple things, like tending a garden, that’ll save us all in the end.
- You don’t need to be a wizard or a king to make a difference. Sometimes, just a kind heart and a stout stick will do.
- Just because we’re not big or famous doesn’t mean we can’t do our bit to put things right.
- Nothing like a good, hot meal to mend the spirit, I always say.
- What’s taters, precious? Po-ta-toes! Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.
- Cooking’s a bit of home you can bring with you, wherever you wander.
- Even when the shadow grows, a well-cooked meal can remind us of the light.
- There’s an art to cooking in the wild; it’s about making the most of what you’ve got, even if it’s just a brace of conies.
- The Elves have it right – trees and flowers, they do talk to you if only you listen.
- Gardening’s not about just putting things in the earth. It’s about watching over them, caring for them.
- Every blade of grass and every leaf in the forest, it’s part of the bigger picture, and I reckon it’s worth protecting.
- I’ve always believed a bit of greenery is good for the soul, helps keep the darkness at bay.
- The Shire’s gardens taught me patience and care, lessons that served me well, even in the shadow of Mount Doom.
- Frodo wouldn’t have got far without me, and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere without him.
- It’s funny, thinking about how far we’ve come together. A bit of friendship can take you a long way.
- When the road looks darkest, that’s when you look to your friends. That’s when you need them most.
- We’re all part of the same story, even if our parts seem small. It wouldn’t be the same without any one of us.
- It isn’t just holding on to each other; it’s holding each other up when the going gets tough.
- I know what I’m afraid of, and it’s a lot, but not doing what’s right scares me the most.
- True courage is about knowing you’re scared, and stepping forward anyway.
- Every step away from the Shire was a step into fear, but it was right, so it was a step I had to take.
- Sometimes you have to face big fears for small folks, so that the world stays gentle for them.
- Being brave doesn’t mean you go looking for trouble, but you don’t turn away from it either.
- It’s the simple things that keep us going – simple food, simple comforts, simple words.
- Sometimes the most complicated problems have the simplest solutions, if you just look at them right.
- A bit of plain hobbit-sense often cuts through the nonsense quicker than any wizardry.
- I may not know much about the big affairs of the world, but I know what matters in the long run.
- Keep it simple, that’s what I say; life’s hard enough without making it harder.
- After all we’ve been through, it’s the quiet moments with Rosie and the children that mean the most.
- Planting trees and watching them grow, that’s the future I fought for.
- A good family, a bit of land, a cup of something warm at the end of the day – that’s the richest treasure.
- Every story I tell my little ones is a seed planted, a seed of hope, of courage.
- The greatest adventure, it turns out, was coming home and building a life after the journey.
- I was just Sam Gamgee before, and now here I am, back from far lands, with tales to tell.
- I’ve seen things I never imagined, and done things I never thought I had in me.
- Every step on that road was a step toward becoming who I was meant to be.
- It’s strange how the road changes you, shows you parts of yourself you never knew were there.
- I left as a gardener, and came back something more. I reckon the journey grows us all in unexpected ways.
- I’m only putting down what I remember, in hopes it’ll be useful, maybe even inspiring.
- The tales we told, the deeds we did, they oughtn’t be forgotten.
- If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that stories matter. They remind us of who we are, and who we can be.
- This book, it’s a part of us now, a part of the Shire, a part of the world.
- Someday, my children, and theirs after them, will read this and remember: even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
