Tolkien Quotes to live by…
As many of you know, I use quotes every single time I post on here. There are others out there who are struggling with things far greater than my own health issues, so I started posting my favorite quotes to my Pinterest board as well as my Facebook page. Sometimes I seem to be on the same page as my friends and I post quotes I don’t even realize they need at the moment.
Here are some of my favorites:
“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
Good friends mean the world to me.
“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.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
Sometimes this quote is true in my life.
“Deserves it! I daresay he does. 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. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
I try to see things from all perspectives.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
This is my life quote.
