"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
----J.R.R. Tolkien in The Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 2
I like this quote, too....
From the 2012 movie, the Hobbit (not in the book itself):
Galadriel:
      Mithrandir... why the Halfling?
Gandalf:
...I don't know. Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is
not what I have found. I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that
keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is
because I am afraid... and he gives me courage.
