Hobbit Friendship

I love Lord of the Rings, in both book and movie form. And I have a special fondness for hobbits. I think it's because they eat so many meals a day and it makes me a little jealous. But I found this exchange in The Fellowship of the Ring and thought it was worth sharing:

"But it does not seem that I can trust anyone," said Frodo.
Sam looked at him unhappily. "It all depends on what you want," put in Merry. "You can trust us to stick to you through thick and think--to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours--closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo."
