1. FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT!! Take care of them, they'll take care of you. If they're jerks, give them one more chance. They might just save Merry and Pippin, or at least take a few arrows for them.
2.Don't judge a book by its size or movie.
3. Don't be afraid to use valuables in a pinch. They aren't worth anything if you don't use them.
4. Make nice with future Kings. Makes life much easier.
5. Food is important- take care of yourself, even in Mordor if possible.
