This is a section where you must give the situation in which the quote of Gandalf's was said.

Re: Gandalf quotes

I'll start out with an easy one
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;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.&quot;<hr></blockquote>

Re: gh

The situation was the conversation in the &quot;Shadow of the Past&quot; chapter, when Frodo said that he wished Gollum WAS killed.

Get you gone, and fly! For here is a fire that shall consume you and all evil things. </p>

I'll have to give this one to Odysseus, he described the situation, not just saying who it was said to.

Re: gh

&quot;Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that thiose who live after may have clean earth to till.&quot;

Get you gone, and fly! For here is a fire that shall consume you and all evil things. </p>

Hint: both later and earlier

[Lostgaeriel]

"Ah!" "That is a very long story." was said by Gandalf to Frodo in FOTR, Book One, Chapter II, The Shadow of the Past. He had just proved to Frodo and himself that Frodo's ring was the One Ring. Frodo asked, "How, how on earth did it come to me?"

So the story is about how the Ring came to Frodo.

[HerenIstarion]

exactly!

[Lostgaeriel]

Hooray! I finally found a quote I could answer.

Try this:

Still that must be expected.

[Durin's Bane86]

Gandalf said that to himself after inspecting Frodo at Rivendell, (after the hobbit had got stabbed at weathertop) and finding a hint of transparency on him.

[ November 09, 2001: Message edited by: Durin's Bane86 ]

[Lostgaeriel]

Exactly. smilies/wink.gif Ask away, Durin's Bane!

[Durin's Bane86]

Okee doke. Try this one:

"That may not prove to be one of the lighter matters,"

[Lostgaeriel]

Gandalf said this at the end of his conversation with Saruman at Orthanc, July 10, 2018.

This was Gandalf's reply to Saruman, who had said, "... until it (the Ring) is found in your despite, and the Ruler (I think Saruman had himself in mind) has time to turn to lighter matters: to devise, say, a fitting reward for the hindrance and insolence of Gandalf the Grey."

Gandalf then recounted this in answer to Galdor's question, "What of Saruman?" at the Council of Elrond.

Whew! I'm out of breath.

[ November 09, 2001: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

[Durin's Bane86]

That's it! smilies/smile.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

OK. Here’s one:
Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!

[KayQy]

Is this where Gandalf is trying to open the doors of Moria? If not, I have other ideas, but I will be good and only put one at a time.

[Lostgaeriel]

VERY close! A little bit before that.

[KayQy]

My bad, this was his encantation to light the trees with fire when they were fighting the wolves between Moria and Caradhras.

[Lostgaeriel]

Correct! Your turn to ask.

[KayQy]

"Now I can go and turn to other matters with one care the less."

To whom in response to what?

[Turambar]

Was that to Aragorn, after Gandalf gave him the palantir to guard?

[KayQy]

Close, but no pipeweed.

[HerenIstarion]

Gandalf to Treebeard happy the ents will keep an eye at Saruman's doings

[KayQy]

Very good! Have a gold star and a turn at the quote wheel. smilies/smile.gif

[jpoet111]

The answer to your Gandalf quote number 1. That I must say was easy is. In the Shire when Frodo says Why didn't Bilbo kill gollum there and then. Frodo also thinks back to it when they later find gollum and have the chance to kill him.

[KayQy]

Welcome to the forum, jpoet!
Good job on the quote, but usually/always you're supposed to answer the most recently posted quote in a thread. Then if you're the first to get it right, you can post the next quote to be guessed. Sometimes we have to wait awhile for people to post a new quote, but if you ever have a quote or idea that just can't wait, feel free to start a new thread. Of course, reading the full thread is a good idea to keep from repeating quotes.

Hmmm...that leads to an interesting question. What will we do when we've quoted everything that Tolkien has ever written? I'm sure the end will come eventually...

Oh, well. HI, whenever you're ready.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Okay, an easy one:

"O Elbereth, Gilthoniel!
We still remember we who dwell.."

It was the only thing I could think of. Who sings it where?

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

smilies/rolleyes.gifWhoops, it's late and this is like catnip.. let me think of a Gandalf quote.

[HerenIstarion]

welcome to the board, jpoet and Marileangorifurnimaluim (nice nick, but what may it mean? smilies/wink.gif)
sorry to be so late, KayQy

next Gandalf one smilies/smile.gif:

I should call it a heavy loss

what?

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Thank you much! As for the meaning of my riff, I'll never tell! smilies/wink.gif

Hmmm A guess...if all the Boffers, Bolgers, and yes, even the ridiculous Baggins, were to be made slaves. Gandalf to Frodo in the Shadow of the Past. "But who would want such slaves!"

[HerenIstarion]

nay

[Turambar]

The death of Dain Ironfoot in the Battle of Dale.

[HerenIstarion]

thou spoketh truth, ye Master of Fate

[Turambar]

"You have been saved . . . mainly by good fortune, as it is called. You cannot count on it a second time."
To whom, and when?

[HerenIstarion]

Gandalf to Pippin after palantir incident

[Turambar]

is correct.

[HerenIstarion]

I cannot tell you much more, though that ought to be enough.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Gandalf to Bilbo regarding Beorn, when they were drawing near to Beorn's house.

[HerenIstarion]

yeh, that's it. go ahead

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Do as I bid!

[Androndo the Thoughtfull]

Gandalf instructs Pippin in Minas Tirith not to say to Denethor the whole story about Aragorn coming back,
Boromir and
Frodo's mission.

Is that good enough?

[Bruce MacCulloch]

I suppose that answer will do, as vague and non-specific as it is. smilies/tongue.gif
Your turn, Androndo.

[Androndo the Thoughtfull]

It was correct... isn't it the correctness that counts? smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif

But the night will be too short

[HerenIstarion]

that's in Pippin's lodgings in Minas-Tirith

[Androndo the Thoughtfull]

Correct, proceed...

[HerenIstarion]

sorry to be so late

'You are quite right,If I had no other purposes, I should not be helping you at all

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Gandalf to Thorin, regarding his motivations for helping the quest for Erebor.

[TheBlackRider]

When did Gandalf sya that?

[TheBlackRider]

[Belegfanaion]

I know this one! Gandalf says "Mellon" in "A Journey in the Dark" as the answer to the riddle "Speak friend and enter" at the gates of Moria! smilies/tongue.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

Whoa there, TheBlackRider and Belegfanaion!

HerenIstarion hasn't yet come back to confirm that Bruce MacCulloch has answered his quote correctly. When he does, it's Bruce's turn to ask. (basic Middle-Earth Fun and Games rules)

If you're really anxious to ask a Quote, just start a new thread (New Topic).

[ April 11, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

[Belegfanaion]

Oops, sorry! I am kinda new to this whole thing.... I forgot that he gets to ask one. smilies/wink.gif smilies/confused.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

That's OK and understandable, Belegfanaion. Once someone posts a question (even when it wasn't their turn), it's a great temptation to answer it. (Did it myself recently on another quotes thread. And I think that too was an answer to a question from HerenIstarion that hadn't been confirmed. smilies/eek.gif )

Hope you're having fun on the Downs. If you (or TheBlackRider) have any (more) quotes or quiz/trivia to challenge us with, start a new topic. There are never enough games to play. It was a few days before I found one with a question pending that I could answer, when I first arrived. (I think it was this very quotes thread.)
