The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.
J. R. R. TOLKIENThe world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.
J. R. R. TOLKIENI don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
J. R. R. TOLKIENOft hope is born when all is forlorn.
J. R. R. TOLKIENI will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.
J. R. R. TOLKIENThen Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. But no living man am I!
J. R. R. TOLKIENI feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
J. R. R. TOLKIENWhere there’s life there’s hope, and need of vittles.
J. R. R. TOLKIENI am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider.
J. R. R. TOLKIENFrom 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. TOLKIENIn a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
J. R. R. TOLKIENFear both the heat and the cold of your heart, and try to have patience, if you can.

J. R. R. TOLKIENI am in fact, a hobbit in all but size
J. R. R. TOLKIENVoiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouthless mutters.
J. R. R. TOLKIENThe world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
J. R. R. TOLKIENMay the hair on your toes never fall out!
