"No!" said Thorin. "There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended into measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!"

These words are include in the text for two reasons. The reason of plot is that they resolve the quarrel that Thorin and Bilbo had over Bilbo's giving the Arkenstone to the Elven-king, and part, finally, on good terms. The reason of theme is that they show that Bilbo has finally rejected the respectability of his origin, and is glad to have had the adventure that he at first rejected, and of the discomforts and dangers of which he had previously complained. These words show the culmination of Bilbo's growth as a character.
