From the Hobbit, a nameless Elf as Thorin was crossing the bridge to the Last Homely House; " Don't dip your beard in the foam, Father!"

From RotK Aragorn's reply when Merry requests pipe weed; "Master Meriadoc, if you think that I have passed through mountains and the realm of Gondor with fire and sword to bring herbs to a careless soldier who throws away his gear, you are mistaken. If you pack has not been found, then you must send for the herbmaster of this House. And he will tell you that he did not know that the herb you desire had any virtues, but that it is called westmansweed by the vulgar and galenas by the noble, and other names in other tongues more learned, and after adding a few half-forgotten rhymes that he does not understand, he will regretfully inform you that there is none in the House, and he will leave you to reflect on the history of tongues. "
