Top 5 quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."
"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."
"All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost."

"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
"Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."
"There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there."
"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
