This was said by Legolas to Gimli when they were rowing (sailing) up the Anduin to the battle of the Pellennor fields.

By the way, I have a question to you people from English speaking countries: Did Tolkien make up all these proverbs in his books? Or are some of them real existing proverbs in English?? Just wondering...
