frodo: i can’t understand you. do you mean to say that you, and the elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds? he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy. he deserves death.
gandalf: deserves it! i daresay he does. 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. for even the very wise cannot see all ends.
