[Stonewall Jackson]

We also need the Bilbo Bagginses of the world to stand by our side. Like he tells the Thorin Oakenshield; "Look, I know you doubt me, I know you always have. And you're right - I often think of Bag End, I miss my books, and my armchair, and my garden. See, that's where I belong, that's home. That's why I came back - 'cause you don't have one, a home. It was taken from you, but I will help you take it back if I can."

It takes a special kind of courage to overcome your fears and move past them to stand up for what you believe is right. As Paine said, "These are the times that try men's souls."

[JPII Be Not Afraid]

I agree wholeheartedly. We may not have Bilbo, but I bet we can count on Bibi.

It takes a special kind of courage to overcome your fears and move past them to stand up for what you believe is right.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."

Gandalf
