J. R. R. Tolkien
Never laugh at live dragons.
J. R. R. Tolkien
A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure.
J. R. R. Tolkien
I'm in a position where it doesn't matter what people think of me now.
J. R. R. Tolkien
For nothing is evil in the beginning.

The greater part of the truth is always hidden, in regions out of the reach of cynicism.

Their 'magic' is Art, delivered from many of its human limitations.
J. R. R. Tolkien
The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?
J. R. R. Tolkien
That's the only place in all the lands we've ever heard of that we don't want to see any closer and that's the one place we're trying to get to! And that's just where we can't get, nohow.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Often does hatred hurt itself.
J. R. R. Tolkien
In one thing you have not changed, dear friend, said Aragorn: you still speak in riddles. What? In riddles? said Gandalf. No! For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to the long explanations needed by the young are wearying.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not or that you feel good this morning or that it is a morning to be good on?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Better mistrust undeserved than rash words.
J. R. R. Tolkien
He [Bilbo] fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait.
J. R. R. Tolkien
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Why must you speak your thoughts? Silence, if fair words stick in your throat, would serve all our ends better.
J. R. R. Tolkien
