I have left my pocket-handkerchief behind. -- TH (Bilbo)
Don't be precise. -- TH (Dwalin)
What has it got in its pocketses? -- TH (Gollum)
Old fool! -- TH (Bilbo)
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. -- TH (Thorin)
Es ist eine gefährliche Sache, aus deiner Tür hinauszugehen. Du betrittst die Straße, und wenn du nicht auf deine Füße aufpasst, kann man nicht wissen, wohin sie dich tragen. -- LotR (Bilbo)
The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day! -- LotR

There are some things that are better to begin, though the end be dark. -- LotR
Hullo Pippin! So you've come on this little expedition, too? Where do we get bed and breakfast? -- LotR (Merry)
Well, I saw what I saw, and I saw what I didn't. -- LotR
Short cuts make long delays. -- LotR (Pippin?)
Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. -- LotR
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes. -- LotR
And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom. -- LotR
What do they live on when they can't get hobbit? -- LotR
The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out. -- LotR
Let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall. -- LotR (Elrond)
Treulos ist, wer Lebewohl sagt, wenn die Straße dunkel wird. -- LotR (Gimli)
I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way. -- LotR
Elben mögen vom Reden allein leben können und Zwerge ertragen große Müdigkeit, aber ich bin nur ein alter Hobbit und vermisse meine Mittagsmahlzeit. -- LotR
The wolf that one hears is worse than the orc that one fears. -- LotR (Boromir)
I am a servant of the Sacred Fire! You shall not pass! -- LotR
Waste of a good apple! -- LotR (Sam Gamgee)
Fool of a Took! This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. -- LotR (Gandalf)
"It was not the fault of the Dwarves that the friendship waned," said Gimli.
"I have not heard that it was the fault of the Elves," said Legolas.
"I have heard both," said Gandalf. -- LotR
After that, I suppose, he turned his armes into wings and flew away singing into the trees. It should be easy to find him: we only need wings ourselves! -- LotR (Legolas)
What is Gandalf up to? [...] and young Saruman down at Isengard? -- LotR (Fangorn)
We must not be hasty. [...] for it is easier to shout stop! than to do it. -- LotR (Fangorn)
But now I am going to stand up and take a little sleep. Where will you stand? -- LotR (Fangorn)
What's taters, precious, eh, what's taters? -- LotR
"But where have you been to?" "Sneaking!" -- LotR (Samwise und Smeagol)
"Wo Leben ist, da ist auch Hoffnung," wie der alte Ohm zu sagen pflegte, "und Verlangen nach der Weinbuddel", wie er dann meist hinzufügte. -- LotR (Sam Gamgee)
I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying. -- LotR (Gandalf)

The Darkness has begun. There will be no dawn. -- LotR (Gandalf)
And they said no more; and it seemed to them as they stood upon the wall that the wind died, and the light failed, and the sun was bleared, and all sounds in the City or in the lands about were hushed: neither wind, nor voice, nor bird-call, nor rustle of leaf, nor their own breath could be heard; the very beating of their hearts was stilled. Time halted. -- LotR (Eowyn und Faramir)
I see [...] pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winterthickets on a misty night. The Dead are following. -- LotR (Legolas)
Do you not know Death when you see it? -- LotR (Der Herr der Nazgul)
Out of the dephts came his last wail precious, and he was gone. -- LotR

It is fullfilled. Even now a Silmaril is in my hand. -- Das Silmarillion (Beren, einhändig, zu Thingol)
Doch wer Lügen saet, dem wird am Ende die Ernte nicht mangeln, und bald kann er gar von der Arbeit ruhen, während andre für ihn mähen und ackern. -- Das Silmarillion
Und jene, die in Mittelerde ausharren und nicht nach Mandos kommen können, sollen der Welt müde werden wie einer schweren Last und sollen verfallen und wie Schatten der Reue werden vor dem jüngeren Geschlecht, das nach euch kommt. -- Das Silmarillion
Doch weder Mensch noch Wolf noch Balrog hätte Morgoth zum Ziele geführt, ohne den Verrat der Menschen. -- Das Silmarillion

The man who has a tame dragon is naturally respected. -- Farmer Giles of Ham

though doom shall come and dark conquer.
