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?

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