The one part of LotR that has had the most profound effect on me is the rejection of the ring by Faramir at Henneth Annun.He shows that greatness can sometimes be achieved by just sticking to your principles and not falling into temptation. He knew that he must simply stick to the tasks allotted to him and do them to the best of his ability instead of meddling in affairs that were perhaps beyond his abilities to control.
A very simple lesson, but a very important one I think you will agree.
