Today I toured the WW2 museum in New Orleans. If you are ever in New Orleans I highly recommend this experience.
These two quotes were posted in the snack bar and are very apropo to today's world insanity.
"There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know."
Harry S. Truman
"What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9

There comes a day when you realize that turning the page is the best feeling in the world. Because you realize that there is so much more in the book than the page you were stuck on. Zayln Malak

The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is just tenacity. You can do anything you choose to do. The fears are just paper tigers. You can act to change and control your life, and the procedure. The process is its own reward. Amelia Earhart

If you are riding in front of the herd, take a look back now and then to make sure it is still there.
Using good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from using bad judgement.

If anyone wondered like I did, LuckyJack's quote comes from Sam Gamgee, from the movie The Two Towers.
If Reddit is to be believed, and why not? We're having this discussion on an SM forum:
"This quote is not actually in the books and was added by the writers of the movies for that Osgiliath scene.
You can see more about this in the extended commentary..., but I do remember that they had mentioned that they were worried that the line would come across as ultra cheesy and lame but then it ended up working nicely."
I liked the movies better than the books. Blasphemous as that may be.
