“You made me what I am today, courage at its best. You wanted me to know no fear, a cut above the rest. Not only did I master that, I’ve thrown in loyalty too. Look past my eyes into my soul, you know I’d die for you. I’ll watch your kids, I’ll watch your house. Your praise will be my crown, ask what you will, I’ll do my best, I’ll even be your clown. But some of you don’t like me, I’m sure I don’t know why. The only thing I’m guilty of is courage, love and try. But still they want to see me go, they want my breed to end. Will I see you sitting idly by? You, whom I call friend. You made me what I am today. You never saw me waiver. I’ll do my best to keep you safe. Will you please return the favor?”

The lord and master of literature, J.R.R. Tolkien, may have died many decades ago, but his wisdom lives on through his books and the movie adaptations. And new generations continue to take important lessons away from Tolkien’s masterpieces, which will hopefully stay with humanity for centuries to come.
The best ‘Lord of the Rings’ quotes ‘All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.’ – Gandalf the Grey
One of the most oft-cited pearls of wisdom from J.R.R. Tolkien, this quote tells us everything we need to know about life. Everything, from when and where we are born to when and how we eventually die, is out of our hands. What we
When we are old and grey, what will we look back on and wish we did differently? What memories will we cherish, what choices (or lack thereof) will we regret?
These are the questions Tolkien reminded us to ask ourselves every day, to make sure we make the most of the time we have.
‘If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.’ – Thorin Oakenshield
This particular one, delivered at a key moment towards the end of the story, speaks not only about Thorin and the dwarves’ own supposed greed, but also about the general state of the world – even more today than in Tolkien’s time.
So let us remember Thorin’s words, and learn to live a little bit more like hobbits: enjoying each other’s company rather than focusing on materialistic pleasures. The perfect quote to bring us back to reality after a stressful holiday season.
Samwise Gamgee is the solid rock to Frodo Baggins’ airy courage, and Gandalf knew exactly what he was doing when he made Frodo bring his gardener along.
Sam is able to bring hope not only to Frodo during his impossible quest to save the world and destroy the One Ring of evil, but also to the reader – whatever their age and whatever bad they have experienced.
Come. And it is this stubborn belief in goodness that ultimately reminds Frodo of his courage, and brings light back to the world.
This beautiful quote is part of the poem “All That is Gold Does Not Glitter, ” allegedly written by Bilbo Baggins in reference to Aragorn.
But on its own, the quote takes on a new meaning – which is one of the reasons it is so often cited. Because sometimes, in life, a person might find themselves adrift without needing rescue. Sometimes, there doesn’t need to be rhyme or reason to your actions; sometimes you just need to
With this quote, Tolkien manages to quell the fears of anyone who reads it, who might be worrying that they are adrift in one way or another. So every time you worry that each little part of your life isn’t exactly planned out, think of this quote and take a deep breath. You’re doing fine.
‘It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.’ – Bilbo Baggins
The main characters (hobbits, mostly) all start their adventures by abandoning the comfort of their own homes in exchange for a winding road of danger, fear and fearsome creatures. And yet, these are the stories we all long to be a part of, because there is no greatness and glory without the uncertainty of these winding roads.
Have just stayed home, or turned back when the going got tough. But even if the fate of the world didn’t rest on their shoulders, we bet they’d regret it the minute they crossed the threshold and found themselves back to their boring old lives.
‘The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.’ – Haldir
Lord of the Rings movie fans remember Haldir as the brave elf who tragically died in the battle of Helm’s Deep, but in the J.R.R. Tolkien novels, he had a somewhat bigger role.
, Haldir delivers one of the most profound quotes of the series, talking about the importance of finding the light and love even in a world that is full of grief.
Is one of the greatest works of literature, and yet we are very short on powerful female role models. Luckily, Tolkien invented the wonderfully strong and complex Éowyn, who follows her uncle Theoden to war to help protect their kingdom, and ends up playing a pivotal role in the great battle for mankind.
Because while Tolkien did not leave many of his great deeds for women, he did give this one huge task to the only female warrior in the saga: because it was said that the Witch-King could fall by the hand of no man – and Éowyn was no man.
This remains one of the most empowering quotes for women (and a fist-pump moment in Peter Jackson’s movie adaptation), who might be deluded into thinking that the fact that they are not men is a setback; being a woman is in itself a strength, as Tolkien so beautifully demonstrated through this one heroic act.
Listen to Tolkien, he knew what he was talking about. Some of his heroes might have great strength, but what sets them apart and what has inspired countless other authors is their courage.
When all hope seems lost, Frodo and Sam do not give up. Éowyn fights her way through the world of men; Arwen doesn’t abandon a world that seems lost; Faramir stands up to his rotten parent; and all through Middle-Earth, the good guys never give up what seems like a fight they cannot win.
At different points in our lives we might find ourselves held back by a physical injury or condition. We might feel the burden of ageing, or feel like our outward appearances hold us back.

But as long as we have our minds, we cannot be broken. As long as we don’t let the world break our spirits, we can always work to improve ourselves, and make our lives the best they can be.
‘Folk seem to have been just landed in [adventures], usually — their paths were laid that way. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we shouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten.’ – Samwise Gamgee
In this age of Instagram fame and people sharing very curated, successful lives online, we might be tempted to see ourselves and our accomplishments woefully inadequate, because we don’t see the
They’ve already published the novel; lost the weight; graduated the course, etc. etc. You’re still working on the thing. But as Sam so wisely expresses here — talking about saving the world, natch — is that those who succeed are those who
This one is pretty self-explanatory, and you will find it used but worded differently in many other contexts. Don’t fight fire with fire; an eye for an eye; be the bigger person.
But that is easier said than done. If someone has wronged you, it is human instinct to want to retaliate; indeed, the world has been shaped by such (re-)actions.
So if you ever need help remembering that revenge is not the answer, look to Frodo Baggins, who even after all the horrible things that had happened to him did not seek to harm those who had harmed him.
One of the biggest worries of young people in today’s society is that their lives might go by unnoticed. In a world over-saturated with child stars and reality TV celebrities, it’s tempting to think that success is measured by fame or popularity, but of course this is far from the truth.
Does someone need recognition for a good deed in order to be a good person? Of course not. If our lives are measured by how much good we bring to the world, surely it is irrelevant whether or not we ever make it to the front page of (or, er, insert your own favourite news source here).
. Ultimately, what matters most is that you yourself can take pride in the fact that you are doing the best you can with what you have.
Arguably the smartest character in the saga, Samwise Gamgee understands much about life, love and the value of a good work ethic.
, “It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.” And procrastinators across time and space can confirm the truth of this. Hashtag just do it!
Bilbo’s adventure may have ended in the Lord of the Rings saga, and yet the adventure he started is still well underway.
Indeed, a lot of our work on this planet is ensuring that future generations can continue what we started, and hopefully contribute to a betterment of the world.
‘It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those
These serial killer quotes from monsters like Ted Bundy and Charles Manson will haunt your nightmares and reveal the darkest depths of human evil.
Albert Fish, AKA The Brooklyn Vampire, AKA The Werewolf of Wysteria, claimed to have raped and eaten about 100 children. He was executed in the electric chair in 1936.
Edmund Kemper, better known as The Co-Ed Butcher or simply Big Ed, was responsible for the deaths of ten people, including his own mother and grandparents.
Charles Manson claims never to have committed any murders himself, but was convicted through the joint-responsibility rule after his followers, the Manson Family, killed several people.
Just before Carl Panzram was put to death in 1930, he reportedly spat in the executioner's face and said, Hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could kill a dozen men while you're screwing around!
John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown (so named for his job of dressing as a clown at children's parties), murdered at least 33 people. He was executed in 1994.
Ian Brady, along with partner Myra Hindley, was responsible for the so-called Moors Murders that took place between 1963 and 1965 in England. They killed five children and were sentenced to life in prison.
H. H. Holmes, one of the first documented serial killers, confessed to 27 murders, although it's thought the figure could be as high as 200. He was hanged in 1896—as his neck did not break, it took him over 15 minutes to die.
Jeffrey Dahmer, AKA the Milwaukee Cannibal, was killed by a fellow prison inmate in 1994 following his conviction for the murder of 15 people. His crimes involved rape, necrophilia and cannibalism.
Peter Kurten, known as the Vampire of Düsseldorf, killed seven people and attacked many others. He admitted to drinking the blood of at least one victim and was executed by guillotine in 1931.
Peter Sutcliffe, AKA the Yorkshire Ripper, was convicted of the murder of 13 women, and the attempted murder of a further seven. He was arrested in 1981 and is still in prison.
Richard Ramirez, dubbed the Night Stalker, committed 13 murders. He died from complications related to his B-cell lymphoma after 23 years on death row.
For those interested in the dark side of human nature, mass murderers hold an understandable fascination. Seemingly ordinary people who turned out to be capable of acts too monstrous to comprehend, many serial killers have shown not one shred of remorse for anyone but themselves once finally apprehended.
For all these things I am not in the least bit sorry, said serial killer Carl Panzram in reference to the 20-plus people he claimed to have murdered and the 1, 000 he claimed to have sodomized. Later, when asked for his last words just before his execution, he said, Yes, hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could kill a dozen men while you're screwing around!
And when it comes to chilling serial killer quotes, that's just Carl Panzram. From John Wayne Gacy to Ted Bundy to Richard Ramirez, modern history's most terrifying serial killers have uttered plenty of words that will creep under your skin just as much as any descriptions of their vicious crimes.
As Ted Bundy once said, You learn what you need to kill and take care of the details. It's like changing a tire. The first time you're careful. By the thirtieth time, you can't remember where you left the lug wrench.
When this monster enter my brain, I will never know. But, it here to stay ... Society can be thankfull that there are ways for people like me to relieve myself at time by day dreams of some victim being torture and being mine. It a big compicated game my friend of the monster play putting victims number down, follow them, checking up on them waiting in the dark, waiting, waiting ... Maybe you can stop him. I can't. He has areadly chosen his next victim.
For more words that demonstrate a total lack of human compassion that may well give you nightmares, have a look at the serial killer quotes above.
After reading these chilling serial killer quotes, read up on some famous serial killers who will haunt your nightmares. Then, check out some of history's most interesting quotes.Getting a peek inside the mind of a serial killer is simultaneously fascinating and horrifying. These societal outcasts have a unique, twisted view of the world, and their words are often chilling.
“That is my ambition, to have killed more people – more helpless people – than any man or woman who has ever lived.”
“I always had the desire to inflict pain on others and to have others inflict pain on me. I always seemed to enjoy everything that hurt. The desire to inflict pain, that is all that is uppermost.”

“To me, this world is nothing but evil, and my own evil just happened to come out ’cause of the circumstances of what I was doing.”

“When this monster entered my brain, I will never know, but it is here to stay. How does one cure himself? I can’t stop it, the monster goes on, and he hurts me as well as society. Maybe you can stop him – I can’t.”
“I remember there was actually a sexual thrill…You hear the little pop and pull their heads off and hold their heads up by their hair, whipping their heads off, their body sitting there, that’d get me off.”
“All of a sudden I realized I had just done something that separated me from the human race and it was something that could never be undone, I realized from that point on I could never be like normal people.”

“I was literally singing to myself on the way home…The tension, the desire to kill a woman, had built up in me to such explosive proportions that when I finally pulled the trigger, all the pressures, all the tensions, hatred, just vanished, dissipated, but only for a short time.”
John Wayne Gacy aka Pogo the Clown, an american serial killer who lured, assaulted and killed at least 33 (that we know of) young male victims. Most of Gacy's victims were discovered buried underneath his Chicago home in the late 70s and Gacy was finally convicted in 1980. Gacy is often credited as an influence behind several on screen characters such Pennywise from IT and Twisty the clown from the American Horror Story. Gacy adopted his famous clown persona in the mid 70s performing as Pogo the Clown at children's hospitals, fundraising events and various party functions hosted by democratic figures. As a side note, it is interesting that Gacy throughout his life was able to quickly promote himself in society and was known to be friendly with various officials and democratic figures. The whole Gacy story is fascinating, but terribly tragic for the victims and the victims families. One area of Gacy's story that I find particularly interesting is his execution in 1994 which didn’t exactly go according to script and the “conspiracy theories” that surround the execution are intriguing to consider. On May 9th 1994 Gacy after his final meal of KFC (Coincidentally Gacy also managed several KFC restaurants), Strawberries and diet coke Gacy was taken to the execution room with an audience. For his final words Gacy snarled to the executioner “Kiss my a**e”. The IV tubes were inserted and the various execution chemicals began to flow, however the chemicals unexpectedly coagulated causing a blockage and the curtains were drawn. After 10 minutes the curtains reopened and the execution resumed. What took place behind those curtains is interesting to speculate. I have seen several theories including a body swap, an occult ritual taking place (there are various occult symbols and coincidences throughout his life) and the more likely scenario of the executioners purposely botching the execution to ensure Gacy suffered like his victims. The tragic (for his victims) story of John Wayne Gacys has so many legs, I couldn’t possibly sum it up in one post but i thoroughly recommend a study of this despicable character. #johnwaynegacy A post shared by Danny Thinks (@danny.thinks) on Dec 2, 2019 at 1:41pm PST
“Sex is one of my downfalls. I get sex any way I can get it. If I have to force somebody to do it, I do…I rape them; I’ve done that. I’ve killed animals to have sex with them,
As lockdown restrictions gradually ease, in line with Government guidance, churches across all four nations of the United Kingdom are beginning to put serious thought into what this means for the opening of church buildings and the resumption of in-building activity, including children’s and youth work.
Over the past year, some children’s and youth work has stopped altogether, and the thought of meeting with children and young people again is rightly being greeted with great enthusiasm. For many, children’s and youth work has continued online, with a variety of approaches having been taken to create environments that are engaging, interesting and fun. Much has been learned over the past 12-months, and many of us have become Zoom ‘guru’s’!
But as we start to plan for a resumption of in-building children’s and youth work again, albeit initially somewhat different looking to when we last were able to do this, let’s not lose all of the learning and experience we’ve gained from the last year. Let’s not abandon the progress we’ve made in reaching children and young people through Zoom that we wouldn’t have reached through in-building activity, many of whom have additional needs or disabilities.
Like many children’s and youth workers, I love a good Disney movie, and that well known quote from ‘Lilo & Stitch’ keeps coming to mind whenever I think about a return to in-building children’s and youth work:
So often, families of children with additional needs or disabilities can find themselves forgotten, overlooked, not considered when plans are being made. After a year it is unsurprising that many church leaders and children’s/youth teams are excited about the prospect of the doors being opened again and in-building work restarting, but I’ve personally been saddened to see many people posting on social media about how thrilled they are to not have to run Zoom sessions any more. For families who cannot, for all kinds of reasons, attend in-building activities, this is so harmful; another form of exclusion.
So let’s not choose between in-building or online children’s and youth work; let’s not create exclusion by cutting off families who have been able to connect to church like never before over the past 12-months. Let’s make sure that no one gets left behind or forgotten.
Ask families what they prefer, what they are able to access, what resources they need to join in. Make sure you are including them as you plan, remembering that phrase used by the disabled community
Recognise that your community includes families that come to the building and families that connect from home. Structure your activities in ways that link both parts of this community together so that they can enjoy being involved wherever they are and can feel the ‘togetherness’.
A ‘hybrid’ or ‘blended’ offering isn’t about providing an in-building programme and broadcasting it via a static camera at the back of the room to anyone else. It’s about interaction, giving families at home a chance to contribute, share and lead; having the camera moving around to see what is happening in-building and broadcasting on a screen and sound system what is happening at home, making it a truly interactive experience for everyone.
Are you doing something ‘crafty’ or ‘creative’? Have you thought about how to equip families that are taking part from home? Maybe drop a bag of resources round to them so that they have everything that children/young people in the church building have, enabling them to all join in together. Is there a programme or timetable that you could include? For children/young people with additional needs, make this visual by including symbols and photo’s.
We generally chat with families as they collect their children from in-building sessions, so why not do the same for families that are connecting online? Don’t just drop them an email but pick up the phone or pop round for a (socially distanced) chat. How did the session go for them? What worked and what didn’t? What do they need from us next time? How would they like to take part?
I hope these tips and ideas will help you as we emerge from lockdown and plan for the ‘new normal’. Let’s make sure we all remember that
. Let’s ensure that whether families are getting involved in what we are offering in-building or at home that they all feel connected and all experience the same sense of community that this brings.Um die Sicherheit der Nutzerdaten zu gewährleisten, werden ältere Versionen deines Webbrowsers von nicht mehr unterstützt.

I cannot believe how quick the shipping was! I thought for sure it wouldn’t be here for Xmas because I ordered it pretty late and it arrived today! It’s beautiful! Would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about purchasing one!
Bought this for my aunt and uncle as an Anniversary gift. They loved it. I appreciate how fast it shipped and was packaged. The workmanship is worth the price.
