Some wise quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien, (Gandalf) The Fellowship of the Ring and other masterpieces of him:

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.”

“He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.”

“You cannot pass,” he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. “I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.”

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”

“For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

“Fly you fools”

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.”

“A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”

“The treacherous are ever distrustful.”

“The wise speak only of what they know.”

And So It Is. RK
