who said ,"Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are evil."

Hullo Mr. Mordor, welcome aboard. I'm itching to answer, [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but we have to wait: can't pose a question until you've guessed one correctly. Rules of the Game, don't pass go, don't collect $200.

You can start a new thread.

Elenhin got the correct answer -- that was Merry waxing philosophical.

"Though much has been saved, much must now pass away..... I shall go soon. The burden must lie now upon you and your kindred."

Who said this, and where?

Was it Gandalf to Aragorn(or king Elessar) on mount Mindolluin?

Yep. Your turn to ask, Mordor.

Finally

Who said this and where?
"Go in peace!I will not say:do not weep; for not all tears are evil." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gandalf said this to Sam, Merry & Pippin at the Grey Havens as he, Frodo and the rest were boarding the ship. (It's so sad.) [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

By the way, to be annoyingly picky, the quote is actually:
"Go in peace!I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."

Lostgaeriel, because it has been such a long time since Mordor 136 has replied to the thread, you can make a new quote. You got his quote right.

Was that Eowyn to Aragorn, talking about the paths of the Dead?

Correct! Ask on.

Oops, I couldn't remember which thread this was in! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

"He may be all right, and then he may not." Who was describing which other person?

I'll utter a guess - Dori about Bilbo at Bag-End?

No,I'm afraid not [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Want the next bit?

I am stumped. Time to guess.

Aragorn talking about Merry/Faramir?

I would take more time to look at this, but I am busy.

Uh, I dunno either. How 'bout, Pippin re. Aragorn at the Prancing Pony?

Nope, none of those [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Ok, the whole quote is:
"He may be all right, and then he may not. Fair speech may hide a foul heart."

Is it Gimli talking?

Frodo discussing Faramir with Sam.

Elrian is SO close [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be this hard!

It's Sam, speaking to himself of Faramir.

Yay! Estelyn's got it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Goody! Here's a new one:
"A traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend."

Aragorn at Isengard?

Nope and nope, Telchar!

Gandalf talking about Gollum in Minas Tirith?

Gandalf talking about Wormtongue at Isengard.

You're right, Eowyn of Ithilien! Your turn!

"And it may be that Eru has set a fire in me greater than thou knowest"

Feanor in response to the Valar. They had warned him that he could never defeat a Vala.

your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"So shall it be! Dear-bought those songs shall be accounted, and yet be well-bought. For the price could be no other."

(I finally have the Silmarillion in English, so you can be sure the quote is accurate this time [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

Spoken by Manwe, after the revolt of the Noldor, in response to Feanor's speech to his people saying that their deeds would live in song.

Yep. Go on, Curuquendil.

Ok, here goes:

"The time of my thought is my own to spend."

(Hint: This quote is told in third person)

It was Gimli at the council of Elrond.

You are on the right track! What I was looking for was who actually spoke the original quote...

Dain.

Turambar is correct! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
