Darkness Must Pass

I've been on a bit of a Lord of the Rings kick lately, what with The Hobbit coming out.
This is one of my favorite quotes.
It reminds me that God is sovereign, and no matter how wretched and evil the world becomes, we will spend eternity in glory. And for now, we must keep fighting for what we believe in. Because it's worth fighting for.

"But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
