"Some that die deserve life, and some that live deserve death.... Not even the wisest can see all ends."
Did that line come before this one?
I did like this one though, and he's right- people do the best they can in the circumstances they are placed in. Something you do today may not be the best decision when you're looking back on that desicion tomorrow, but you did what you thought was best at that time. So, there's a lot more behind his words than just the obvious
what gandalf (or tolkien) was saying "you can either let life rule you, or do whatever you can to make it better, that is the choice" and of course it's out of the question making it worse for others
I agree with you. This is also my favorite line from the whole trilogy. Gandalv is the character I like the most. His voice is comforting and soft, you can see that in Frodos eyes
He's saying that you can't always decide what happens in your life, and that when shit happens, of course whoever it happens to is gonna wish it didn't, but it's not up to them. All they have to choose is what to do with those shitty times and how they are going to deal with them.
Basically: shit happens, give up or face it like a man
@asymmetrisch i think he's talking about the warriors, those who have seen the power of the ring. But i suppose someone will rage at me and prove me wrong soon :P
I think at this quote 24/7. Every time I am in trouble or disappointed I realize I have to use my time in the most efficient way I can no matter how bad the situation is :). [it is also my anti-laziness pill. It works most of the times!]
I love this line, it prove that we as christians need to use the time given to us to spread the lords word and give someone the chance for everlasting life.

What does he refer to when he says "So do all who live to see such times"? I don't remember what that scene was about, context etc.

Gandalf answers that.
