Explanation:

1. For the quotation "Even in this gloom hope gleams again.... The accursed darkness itself has been a cloak to us." - The idea of help (hope) coming from a dark (unexpected) situation matches "Help can come from unexpected places."
2. For the quotation "It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us... uprooting the evil in the fields that we know." - Focusing on solving the problem at hand (what's in us, the known fields) matches "Solve the problem in front of you."
3. For the quotation "I'll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind," said Sam. "And I'll carry Mr. Frodo up myself, if it breaks my back and heart." - Sam's determination to carry on despite the difficulty (breaking back/heart) matches "It is important to carry on even in the face of obstacles."
