In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The burned hand teaches best. After that, advice about fire goes to the heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The stars are far brighter Than gems without measure, The moon is far whiter Than silver in treasure The fire is more shining On hearth in the gloaming Than gold won by mining, So why go a-roaming? O! Tra-la-la-lally Come back to the Valley.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Valour needs first strength, then a weapon.

And thus it came to pass that the Silmarils found their long homes: one in the airs of heaven, and one in the fires of the heart of the world, and one in the deep waters.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Do not spoil the wonder with haste!
J. R. R. Tolkien
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Indeed you did your best...I hope that it may be long before you find yourself in such a tight corner again between two such terrible old men. ~ Gandalf to Pippin
J. R. R. Tolkien
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Farewell! O Gandalf! May you ever appear where you are most needed and least expected!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Lazy Lob and crazy Cob are weaving webs to wind me. I am far more sweet than other meat, but still they cannot find me! Here am I, naughty little fly you are fat and lazy. You cannot trap me, though you try, in your cobwebs crazy.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo, a star shines on the hour of our meeting.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Éowyn!
J. R. R. Tolkien
The strongest must seek a way, say you? But I say: let a ploughman plough, but choose an otter for swimming, and for running light over grass and leaf, or over snow- an Elf!
J. R. R. Tolkien
I may be a burglar...but I'm an honest one, I hope, more or less.
J. R. R. Tolkien
If you took this thing on yourself, unwilling, at others' asking, then you have pity and honour from me. And I marvel at you: to keep it hid and not to use it. You are a new people and a new world to me. Are all your kin of like sort? Your land must be a realm of peace and content, and there must gardners be in high hounour.
J. R. R. Tolkien
We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!
