Gandalf

It is in Men that we must place our hope.

Elrond

Men? Men are weak. The race of Men is failing. The Blood of Númenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago, when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of Men failed.

More from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Young Elrond Cast it into the fire!... Destroy it! Isildur No. Young Elrond Isildur! Arwen I choose a mortal life. Aragorn You cannot give me this. Arwen It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart. Galadriel Will you look into the mirror? Frodo What will I see? Galadriel Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror shows many things. Things that were, things that are, and some things... that have not yet come to pass.
