But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed, while others reap and sow in his stead.
("The Silmarillion")
More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
He loved mountains, or he had loved the thought of them marching on the edge of stories brought from far away; but now he was borne down by the insupportable weight of Middle-earth. He longed to shut out the immensity in a quiet room by a fire.J.R.R. Tolkien

Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, O Smaug the Chiefest and greatest of Calamities.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Beautiful she is, sir! Lovely! Sometimes Luke a great tree in flower, sometimes like a white daffadowdilly, small and slender like. Hard as di'monds, soft as moonlight. Warm as sunlight, cold as frost in the stars. Proud and far-off as a snow-mountain, and as merry as any lass I ever saw with daisies in her hair in springtime.
J.R.R. Tolkien
What does your heart tell you?
J.R.R. Tolkien
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring fallsAnd clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me todayWhat news of Boromir the Bold For he is long away.''Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to restAnd Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.''O Boromir The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gazeTo Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'
J.R.R. Tolkien
