Friendship

“I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well.”

– J. R. R. Tolkien, The Return of the King (1955)

What does it mean?

Sam cannot carry Frodo's burden for him, but he can carry Frodo himself. A friend can't always solve your problem, but can help you through it.

Who said it?
