I’d never read ‘Lord of the Rings’ until I was asked to play Gandalf, so I didn’t really know it was a frightfully famous book.
I would like to see a fierce Fantasia mixed with Blade Runner, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in one. That’s the kind of movies I want to make.
For the most part, my characters don’t talk to me. I like to lord over them like some kind of benevolent deity. And, for the most part, my characters go along with it. I write intense character sketches and long, play-like conversations between me and them, but they stay out of the book writing itself.
Do you feel gloomy? Lift your eyes. Stand on your feet. Say a few words of appreciation and love to the Lord. Be positive.

I’m now the Lord of the Brighton Manor.
The Lord had been very gracious, and spoke peace to me in the time of my distress, and I now most ungratefully turned again to folly; at times I felt sharp reproof, but I did not get low enough to cry for help.
If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.

All of us who desire the kingdom of God are, by the Lord’s decree, under an equal and rigorous necessity of seeking after the grace of Baptism.
The whole house came up and I came up with it… I was just praying to the Lord to take care of me.
In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.
The true idea of a church has not yet been shown the world, a visible Church, I mean, unless it was in the very earliest times; yes, the twelve disciples bound to their Lord in love, to do his work forever, that was a church, a Christian family.
I can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman.
Now for my own case, I bless the Lord that, for all that hath been said of me, my conscience doth not condemn me. I do not say I am free of sin, but I am at peace with God through a slain Mediator; and I believe that there is no salvation but only in Christ.
I became a Christian at age 4. I turned from my wicked ways and decided to walk the straight and narrow – but seriously, I actually remember coming to the Lord then and starting my long walk with Him.
All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.
The more completely we focus our attention on our Creator and Lord, the less chance there is of our being distracted by creatures.
To eat in the same room where food is cooked – that is the way to thank the Lord for His abundance.

I never expected to record again. I knew I had done everything I ever wanted to do. I was satisfied. But… all the time I’m watching the country music horizon. And I’m sayin’ ‘Lord, is there anybody gonna come?’
Dear Lord, I’m so grateful I’m still loved.
I think ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy has a very satisfying ending, and there’s not really that deep of a mythological construct.
That was the big effect Lord of the Rings had on me. It was discovering New Zealand. And even more precious were the people- not at all like the Australians.
The Lord has been there from wanting to be a momma, to having a wonderful childhood life and dreaming of having a good motherhood as a child; always wanting to meet a good old country boy and having someone to love as much as I love my husband Roland and having a little boy that is a mixture of the both of us.
Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.
I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.
Are you honest with the Lord in the payment of your tithes? Living this divine law will bring both spiritual and material blessings.

I’d be stupid not to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ because it was tough out there and I was nervous, and I felt his presence all day.
Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all of our doings, as we express heartfelt gratitude, and as we pray for others.
After the first couple of years recording, I did a lot of praying. I said, ‘Lord, please give me a hit.’ I want one so bad.
If I could live my life all over I’d do everything the same; the film in my camera would remain the same; there’s no way lord, to leave this love behind.
Praised be You, my Lord, with all Your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, Who is the day through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour; of You, Most High, he bears the likeness.
The difficulties we face originate from one of three sources. Some are sent to us by the Lord to test our faith, others are the result of Satan’s attacks, and still others are due to our own sinful choices.

The real ‘Lord of the Flies’ is a tale of friendship and loyalty; one that illustrates how much stronger we are if we can lean on each other.

All my favorite books and movies are franchises like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings,’ so that was always the dream, that maybe I’ll get to write a series of my own.
Let us do whatever is required to qualify for the Holy Ghost as our companion and then let us go forward fearlessly so that we will be given the powers to do whatever the Lord calls us to do.
There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.
I’m proud of Lord of the Rings. I think it’s a once in a lifetime role, and a once in a lifetime film. It was made with so much care and passion and meticulous detail and everybody was so behind it.
In heaven there are two distinct loves, love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, in the inmost or third heaven love to the Lord, in the second or middle heaven love towards the neighbor.
In terms of the movie business, being in a ‘Lord of the Rings’ has given me more interesting options as work.
There was a lake beneath me, but the big, heavy parachute which had to be opened two miles above the ground couldn’t be steered. My first thought was, ‘Lord, they send just one woman into space, and she has to end up in the water.’
I’ve already lived one full life, and so now I’m about to endeavor to see what else the good Lord has in store for me, and I’m wide open.
I don’t see here on this side; but I will see on the other side. I know I’ll get to see. I know I’ll get to walk those golden streets and I’ll get to see Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; and I’ll get to see the Lord. Oh yes I will.
