"A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!"
(Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, 2003)
