Lord of the Rings Quote of the Day for Real Life Application: "Elves and Dragons! Cabbages and potatoes are better for me and you. Don't go getting mixed up in the business of your betters, or you'll land in trouble too big for you." It's hard to see where the wisdom is here! In one hand, it's saying mind your own business. Don't get mixed up with other people's bad ideas and bad ways. But, at the same time, it was Sam's nosiness that brought him on the adventure that ultimately saved the world! It was seen as a punishment, but it was a punishment with wonderful results. Perhaps the trouble was too big for Sam. But he overcame it with the love and devotion he had for his friend. Even when we are in trouble that is too big for us, often we are surprised what we are able to accomplish as feeble human beings! #LordOfTheRings
