What a happy fellow Sam is. He seems to be very interested in everything around him, just soaking up life.

He has such a cheerful, sincere face. I love his big floppy ears.

We all need a Samwise in our lives...and someone needs us to be Samwise in their's.- from a post on a Lord of the Rings site. It's like opening the Bible and finding a random passage that fits you.
