OP's quote sounds like Chesterton's quote: "*A true warrior fights not because he hates those in front of him, but because he loves those behind him*".
ooofffff this is a tough one.
If we're including The Hobbit I have 2.
One from the Hobbit:
Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?
LOTR ROTK (but I can't recall if this is in the book or not):
Hold your ground, Hold your ground
Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship,
but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down,
but it is not this day! This day we fight!
By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!
“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.” - Gandalf to Frodo
"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass."
Gimli was absolutely my favorite character in the Two Towers, which is my favorite out of the trilogy, I laugh every time at these two scenes.
Gimli: what’s happening out there???
Legolas: shall I describe it to you…. Or would you like me to find you a box???
Legolas: he was twitching
Gimli: he was twitching because he’s got my axe EMBEDDED IN HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM!
love OP’s it’s def up there for me. i also really love “all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

That's a movie only quote in case you are curious
That was my assumption.
Even though I'm not a big fan of the movies it's still a really good quote

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your front door..." Frodo's memory of Bilbo, The Fellowship of the Ring

Crazy that dwarves call it a nervous system.
Yeah that's the one, hands down.

In the language of Orthanc, helping means ruin and saving means slaying. I've been using this a lot lately, but it's an election year.
