J.r.r. Tolkien Quotes

"Not all those who wander are lost""The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost""The burned hand teaches best""Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger""A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a shortcut to meet it""The smaller the heart, the harder it is""A safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds""So comes snow after fire and even dragons have their endings""If most of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, it would be a much merrier world""There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow""Many that live deserve death And some that die deserve life Can you give it to them Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement""I will not walk backward in life""You cannot pass, I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor ""The world changes and all that once was strong now proves unsure ""There is no such thing as a fair fight, all vulnerabilities are exploited ""I am not trying to rob you, I'm trying to help you ""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 ""Home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread through shadows to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight ""I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam ""But in the end it's only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass "
