The passing of the Third Age marks the beginning of the Age of Men. This is significant because it not only represents the decline and eventual disappearance of the other races of Middle-earth, but also because Men have a fundamentally different outlook from the older races. Even the Dwarves tended to take a longer view as evidenced by Gimli's remarks about how he would approach the project of the Glittering Caves. But well-said. I am quite taken with the difference between Men's psyche and the older races. Sorry that that's all I can say  but really well-said, and a great point.

when he reached his accord with Frodo. 
As a Servant of the Secret Fire, Sam outranked Gandalf, which is why he could tell him "Lor bless you," and that's why he allowed Gandalf as the underling to tackle the Balrog in Moria first, to get some training. If Gandalf hadn't messed up the whole job, Sam would have finished off the beast properly. Shire Gardener: epitome of honour
Of course Gandalf botched. He's just too trippy, in all senses of the word

it's been years since the last time.
Sam's "Lor bless..." jumped out at me, but then so did Bilbo's mothballs. On the other hand, I've also noticed that few pages pass without some echo of scripture therein.
