Gandalf Quotes

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

Gandalf: 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 to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

Gandalf: The Fellowship awaits the Ring-bearer.

(Frodo starts walking with Galdalf right behind him…)

Frodo (whispering): Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?

Gandalf: Left.

Gandalf: What can you see? Can you see anything?

Frodo: Nothing. There’s nothing. Wait. There are markings. It’s some form of Elvish. I can’t read it.

Gandalf: There are few who can. The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here.

Frodo: Mordor!

Gandalf: In the common tongue, it says:

One Ring to rule them all,

one Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all

and in the darkness bind them.

Frodo: Before you came along, we Bagginses were very well thought of.

Gandalf: Indeed.

Frodo: Never had any adventures or did anything unexpected.

Gandalf: If you’re referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door.

Frodo: Whatever you did, you’ve been officially labeled a disturber of the peace.
