Here ends the SILMARILLION. If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
With science, ideas can germinate within a bed of theory, form, and practice that assists their growth... But we as gardeners, must beware... for some seeds are the seeds of ruin... and the most iridescent blooms are often the most dangerous
Alan Moore
Image
And ruin`d love when it is built anew, grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater
William Shakespeare
Image
If you think you can temper yourself into manliness by sitting here over your books, it is the very silliest fancy that ever tempted a young man to his ruin. You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James Anthony Froude
Image
Henceforth ye may thieve with better knowledge whence lucre should be won, and learn that it is not well to love gain from every source. For thou wilt find that ill-gotten pelf brings more men to ruin than to weal.
Sophocles
Image
O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
William Shakespeare
Image
Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin.
Tacitus
Image
If the world had two gods, it would surely go to ruin-this is the first premise. Now it is known that it has not gone to ruin-this is the second premise. From these premises the conclusion must of necessity follow, that is, the denial of two gods.
Al-Ghazali
Image
We can't negotiate the facts. We can't negotiate the truth about the situation. And for those who are too fearful to finish, it can be done and must be done. Make sure we succeed, . . . It is wrong for this generation to destroy the habitability of our planet and ruin the prospects of every future generation.
Al Gore

Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

I'm not blaming my mom for my life because I am responsible for me and nobody can change me or ruin me easier than I can.
Mindy McCready

He sees with amazement that our defeats are but the stepping stones to victory and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin. It was apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shadow of slowly and remorselessly approaching doom, and he railed at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of fleeting success.
Winston Churchill
Image
I believe only in money, not in love or tenderness. Love and tenderness meant only pain and suffering and defeat. I would not let it ruin me as it ruined others! I would speak only with money, hard money.
Agnes Smedley

Strider: Red hots dude. He'd ruin anything for a mouthful of those. Now pull over. William: Gummy Bears. You should have said so.
Gena Showalter
Image
But who can describe the overweening pride of men? Or women mad with passion, reckless in their hearts, soulmates to every kind of ruin that befalls us? Wild passion, unrestrained, boundless, that overcomes the women, perverts the yoke of wedlock for beasts and men alike.
Aeschylus
Image
Why ruin a good story with the truth?
Woody Allen
Image
State authority can never be an end in itself for, if that were so, any kind of tyranny would be inviolable and sacred. If a government uses the instruments of power in its hands for the purpose of leading a people to ruin, then rebellion is not only the right but also the duty of every individual citizen.
Adolf Hitler

My thing is I'd love to be friends with Thom Yorke but if he wasn't a nice guy it would ruin everything for me, I probably wouldn't be able to listen to his music.
Zac Farro

And unlike the rest of you, he hasn’t yet time to ruin his career or his mind. Then he won’t do. Send him home. Get us another lunatic. Excuse me! [hopping up to stand in his seat] Elassar Targon, master of the universe, reporting for duty! I withdraw my objection.
Aaron Allston
Image
It takes time to ruin a world, but time is all it takes.
Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle
Image
But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish desires and schemes that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For love of money is the root of all of evil and some having pursued its power, fall from faith and end in sorrow.
Saint Timothy
