Advice is a dangerous gift, even to the wise from the wise, and all courses may run ill.
More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving-man till the lightning falls.J.R.R. Tolkien
All your words are but to say you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the house of Erol and not a serving woman. I can ride and weild blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Grey as a mouse,Big as a house,Nose like a snake,I make the earth shake,As I tramp through the grassTrees crack as I pass.With horns in my mouthI walk in the South,Flapping big ears.Beyond count of yearsI stump round and round,Never lie on the ground,Not even to die.Oliphaunt am I,Biggest of all,Huge, old, and tall.If ever youd met meYou wouldnt forget me.If you never do,You wont think Im trueBut Oliphaunt am I,And I never lie.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, Brood of Morgoth, or Bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, Neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread, nor danger, not doom Itself shall defend him from Feanor and Feanor's kin whoso hideth or hordeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth, or afar casteth a Silmaril. This swear we all Death we will deal him ere day's ending. Woe unto the world's end Our words hesar thou, Eru Allfather To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth. On the holy mountian hear in witness and our vow remember Manwe and Varda
J.R.R. Tolkien
We have sworn, and not lightly. This oath we will keep. We are threatened with many evils, and treason not least but one thing is not said that we shall suffer from cowardice, from cravens or the fear of cravens. Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda.
J.R.R. Tolkien
It is a dangerous business going out your front door.
