J. R. R. Tolkien Quotes

"Courage is found in unlikely places.""May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.""In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.""The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.""Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate.""War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.""The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.""Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.""There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery.""It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.""If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.""Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.""I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.""Little by little, one travels far.""It is not the strength of the body, but the strength of the spirit.""There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something.""Not all those who wander are lost.""The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.""Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.""Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised."
