Simple Acts

I have found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk, that keeps the darkness at bay; simple acts of kindness and love.

Gandalf from "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
 

 
Ever since I read the first “Lord of the Rings” book, I have always loved the character of Gandalf. To me, his character is one that presents a pretense of unassuming wisdom but who has great power within. That is why I think this quote represents him so well. In a way his fireworks are an example of the small deeds of ordinary folk. They were simple things but they created a lasting impression of hope in the children who saw them.
