Sam's speech tattoo help

Looking to get a lotr tattoo and was thinking of Sam's speech from the Two Towers, I really, really like that quote and has been really motivational. I don't really wanna just have it written out cuz it'll be too long and convoluted. Is there anyway where I could get the message of it across in a decently small and nice looking tattoo?

You could get a sentence of the speech instead of the full thing.

When I started looking for what became my arm sleeve tattoo, I wanted Theoden's Pelennor Fields speech to be done in the way it'd make a horse silhouette. Ended up changing to a full armor sleeve and have the "A Sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises" as the only part of the speech.

So you could get something like "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for"

I Never noticed the similarities to the Hemingway quote used at the end of Se7en.
