1. 'I will vouch for him before the seat of Denethor.... And as for valor, that cannot be computed by stature. He has passed through more battles and perils than you have, Ingold, though you be twice his height; and he comes now from the storming of Isengard, of which we bear tidings ... His name is Peregrin, a very valiant man.'
'Man?' said Ingold dubiously; and the others laughed.
'Man!' cried Pippin, now thoroughly roused. 'Man! Indeed not! I am a hobbit and no more valiant than I am a man, save perhaps now and again by necessity.' [Minas Tirith]
2. 'Indeed you did your best...I hope that it may be long before you find yourself in such a tight corner again between two such terrible old men.' [Minas Tirith]
3. Pippin never forgot that hour in the great hall under the piercing eye of the Lord of Gondor, stabbed ever and anon by his shrewd questions, and all the while conscious of Gandalf at his side, watching and listening, and (so Pippin felt) holding in check a rising wrath and impatience. [Minas Tirith] ceshaughnessy
4. When the hour was over and Denethor again rang the gong, Pippin felt worn out. 'It cannot be more than nine o’clock,' he thought. 'I could now eat three breakfasts on end.' [Minas Tirith]
5. Pippin glanced in some wonder at the face now close beside his own, for the sound of that laugh had been gay and merry. Yet in the wizard’s face he saw at first only lines of care and sorrow; though as he looked more intently he perceived that under all there was a great joy: a fountain of mirth enough to set a kingdom laughing, were it to gush forth. [Minas Tirith]
6. Bergil proved a good comrade, the best company Pippin had had since he parted from Merry, and soon they were laughing and talking gaily as they went about the streets, heedless of the many glances that men gave them. [Minas Tirith]
7. 'Farewell for this time,' said Bergil. 'Take my greetings to my father, and thank him for the company that he sent. Come again soon, I beg. Almost I wish now that there was no war, for we might have had some merry times. We might have journeyed to Lossarnach, to my grandsire's house; it is good to be there in Spring, the woods and fields are full of flowers.' [Minas Tirith]
8. 'A little people, but of great worth are the Shire-folk,' said Halbarad. 'Little do they know of our long labor for the safekeeping of their borders, and yet I grudge it not.' [The Passing of the Grey Company]
9. The Púkel-men they called them, and heeded them little: no power or terror was left in them; but Merry gazed at them with wonder and a feeling almost of pity, as they loomed up mournfully in the dusk. [The Muster of Rohan]
10. But Pippin rose to his feet, as if a great weight had been lifted from him; and he stood listening to the horns, and it seemed to him that they would break his heart with joy. And never in after years could he hear a horn blown in the distance without tears starting in his eyes. [The Pyre of Denethor] elanorfairbairn
11. Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dûr.

12. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command. [Tower of Cirith Ungol]
13. 'As I lay in prison, Sam. I tried to remember the Brandywine, and Woody End, and The Water running through the mill at Hobbiton. But I can't see them now.' [The Land of Shadow] annwyn55
14. Sam saw these two rivals with other vision. A crouching shape, scarcely more than the shadow of a living thing, a creature now wholly ruined and defeated, yet filled with a hideous lust and rage; and before it stood stern, untouchable now by pity, a figure robed in white, but at its breast it held a wheel of fire.

15. 'And not only Sam and Frodo here,' said Gimli, 'but you too, Pippin. I love you, if only because of the pains you have cost me, which I shall never forget. Nor shall I forget finding you on the hill of the last battle.' [The Field of Cormallen]
16. 'If Shagrat himself was to offer me a glass of water, I'd shake his hand,' said Sam. [The Land of Shadow]
17. The hobbits wandered here and there visiting again the places that they had passed before; and Sam hoped always in some shadow of the woods or secret glade to catch, maybe, a glimpse of the great Oliphaunt. [Field of Cormallen] frodosweetstuff
18. 'It is true that I wish to go back to the Shire,' said Frodo. 'But first I must go to Rivendell. For if there could be anything wanting in a time so blessed, I missed Bilbo; and I was grieved when among all the household of Elrond I saw that he was not come.' [Many Partings] notabluemaia
19. After the celebration of Bilbo’s birthday the four hobbits stayed in Rivendell for some days, and they sat much with their old friend, who spent most of his time now in his room, except at meals. For these he was still very punctual as a rule, and he seldom failed to wake up in time for them. [Many Partings] angharad001
20. Soon the dwindling company, following the Isen, turned west and rode through the Gap into the waste lands beyond, and then they turned northwards, and passed over the borders of Dunland. The Dunlendings fled and hid themselves, for they were afraid of Elvish Folk, though few indeed ever came to their country; but the travellers did not heed them, for they were still a great company and were well provided with all that they needed; and they went on their way at their leisure, setting up their tents when they would. [Many Partings]
21. And Frodo went to the King as he was sitting with the Queen Arwen by the fountain, and she sang a song of Valinor, while the Tree grew and blossomed. [Many Partings] claudia603
22. But Merry stood at the foot of the green mound, and he wept, and when the song ended he arose and cried:
'Théoden King, Théoden King! Farewell! As a father you were to me for a little while. Farewell! [Many Partings]
23. 'I wish we could have a Stone that we could see all our friends in,' said Pippin, 'and that we could speak to them from far away!' [Many Partings] grey_wonderer
24. 'The fire's very cosy here, and the food's very good, and there are Elves, when you want them.' [Many Partings] telstar109
25. Sam would not go to bed until he had visited Bill in his stable. [Homeward Bound] elderberrywine
