"I'd got hobbits on my hands hadn't..." - Quote by J R R Tolkien

“It is the way of my people to use light words at such times and say less than they mean. We fear to say too much. It robs us of the right words when a jest is out of place.”

“Evidently we look so much alike that your desire to make an incurable dent in my hat must be excused.”

“For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.”

“The past is past, and the future is yet to come. That means the future is in your hands - the future entirely depends on the present. That realization gives you a great responsibility.”

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.”

“We are in charge of our attitudes.”

“I washed mud off of mud.”

“If a little is great, and a lot is better, then way too much is just about right!”

“Never slap a man who is chewing tobacco.”
