I don't think Gandalf interferred in any way with Theoden. The words and
passion behind them were the king's. I think Theoden would have faced him
alone, and I'd like to think with the same out come- but as already stated by
Doorwarden of Theoden above- good doesn't have to stand alone here. Through out
this story moral and spiritual brotherhood is key. We witness it in the
fellowship; how even the unlikely pair of Gimli and Legolas have grown
together.Pippin and Merry grow up with each others support. Doorwarden
mentions' Gandalf's thoughts of Sam and Frodo-- the two with the strongest
bonds of moral and spiritual brotherhood. Thus it should be that Theoden should
not face Saruman alone.
As for a cool quote, I gave the one about the door below...but here's another
filled with irony, this time from Saruman: "For the common good I am will to
redress the past, and to recieve
you."

Hither are you gone from me
To this longing-- to this strain.
Neither are we far from free
From this aching-- from this pain.
Burden lost or lest sustain
All our misery--delay.
Drink in deeply to detain
What we can not quench today.
