Two of my favourite lines. (Don't remember them completly though).
Sam: I know I can't carry your burden mister Frodo, but I can carry you.
And.
Theoden: Where is the horse and the rider, where is the horn that was blowing. Days have passed like rain on the mountains, like wind in the meddow. The days have gone down in the west, beyond the hills, into shadow.
As I said I don't remember them exactly.

"Wake up! Don't leave me here alone! Don't go where I can't follow"
Is the most cherishes, by me, quote in the poll. But I cannot choose which is my favorite.
Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.
Although I didn't read the post where you changed the topic to favourite, so I voted for My Precious, I do really enjoy the Boromir, Faramir and Denethor realtionship.
Therefore my favourite is "But if I should return father, think better of me"
Aragorn: 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 man will fails when we for sake our friends and break all bounds of fellowship. But to day is not that day a hour of wolfs and shatter shields when the age of man comes crashing down but to day is not this. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you, stand men of the West
Mine is I am no man. That sentence really suprised of me. It is ashamed that Faramir could not fight with Witch King. You know what they tell a woman sometimes does the work while men cannot.

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well
the same fear that would take the heart of me A day may come when the courage of man will fails when we for sake our friends and break all bounds of fellowship. But to day is not that day a hour of wolfs and shatter shields when the age of man comes crashing down but to day is not this. This day we fight!

is the best line
