Thank you, Nilpaurion :)

(I hope I haven't used that one before)

Mine!
 

Sador, to Túrin, about the chair Sador made for Húrin.

Yep, that's one of Sador's wisdoms. :)

Thanks!
 

Okay, part of a quote. Giving the whole thing would make it too easy.

'tis evil in the Wild to fare.

Bilbo to Frodo in Rivendell.

That be it.
 

Your turn. :)

There you go!

Hm, that's very short!
Is this perhaps part of this "proverb":

"In the morning counsels are best and night changes many thoughts." ?

If yes, it is said by Theoden to Hirgon, in "The Muster of Rohan".

That's the one.

Thank you, Dimturiel!

Gollum!
 

Climbing down Emyn Muil after Frodo and Sam! :cool:

Yes, well done, Nilp.! :)

It would be a pity to let this thread die, so here is another cliché:

Maybe you could clue me (and others?) into how this works?

If you browse through some previous posts you can easily see that it works like most of these "Quotable quotes" threads: you have to find out who said this to whom and when.
If your answer is correct, you write the next quote (in this thread it's all about "proverbs" or clichés, from any of Tolkien's works. Well, up to now, we've only used quotes from LotR, Hobbit, Silm, U.T.)
Good luck! :)

Bilbo walking down the tunnel to Smaug's lair? :confused:

wrong guess, sorry!
It's not Bilbo who says this, but the quote is indeed from "The Hobbit".

That would be the Dwarves to Bilbo, at the Unexpected Party.

Yep
 

when Bilbo wants to sneak away to get some light

:) Try this:

Aldarion, to Tar-Meneldur. :)

Correct you are, and sorry for the delay!

Sorry!
 

Something simple then:

[ . . . ]take counsel with thyself, and remember who and what thou art.

Mandos to Fëanor, when banishing him from Tirion.

(But isn't that just an ordinary quote?)

Well, it does sound 'wise' to me. Don't you agree. :p

Yours is the thread.

Well, fair enough, then. Don't mind me, I'm a chronic nitpicker.;)

Okay:

A treacherous weapon is ever a danger to the hand.

Gandalf about Saruman to Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn (in "The white Rider")

You have it, Guinevere.:)

Thanks! :)

"The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards."

Faramir to Sam in Henneth Annun.

Exactly!:)

Thanks.

Legolas to Gimli and Aragorn in "The Riders of Rohan"

Yup!:)

Thank you!

Gimli to Legolas about the fickleness of Men.

Sorry, Evisse, that guess is wrong!
But I have to apologize, this quote isn't said by anyone, it's just in the narrative...
Shall I tell you where it is from, or would you like to take another guess?

Yup, I'd like a hint!

Well, actually, by hint I don't rightly know what I mean since if you told me the circumstance or something like that, it would probably give it away....

Is it from Lotr?

No, it's from the Silmarillion.

From the 'Of Men' chapter in the Silmarillion, I'm guessing.

Funny that Gimli does say something similar-ish when talking to Legolas in Minas Tirith about the 'deeds of men'.
