Right you are, Annunfuiniel! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn.

Thank you, Guinevere! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That was Gildor Inglorion to Frodo.

Indeed 'twas! Please proceed, Guinevere. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you, Annunfuiniel.
Perhaps this is too easy? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That was Aldarion to his father Tar-Meneldur. When the latter urged him to take a bride.

That's it, Eruanna! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn!

Thank you.

Wasn't that Aredhel to Turgon? (Doesn't sound like a "proverb" though... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

It was indeed.....I was going more for a brother/sister type cliché. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks!

If you make it then that was said by Elrond to Gimli (in chapter The Ring Goes South).

You're right, Annunfuiniel!
I must apologize for having accidentally left out "vow to" , shame on me [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
You're good to find it out in spite of that mistake. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hannon le! And no need to be ashamed, Guinevere, these things happen to the best of us. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That was Théoden to Gandalf , about Éomer.

(We've had that one already, on page 2 of this thread) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Rats! I knew it might be so but still couldn't bring myself to check the whole thread... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Aaaanyways, your turn again, Guinevere!

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]Annun

Beregond to Pippen.

Correct, Narduewen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Hey, you were fast to answer!

Hello, Narduewen, where are you? It's your turn!

Whoops. I forgot that I had posted here. As for the next quote.

LOL... I come back over a year later and see that I didn't even realize this was a game. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Need any hints?

I sounds like a hobbit... could it be Sam?
Just guessing, I haven't been able to find it (yet) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hmmm, it wouldn't be Barliman Butterbur by any chance would it?

Neither are correct, though Guinevere is getting somewhere.

I still haven't been able to find it.... I need another hint! (please!)
Or does anyone else know that quote?? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Well, as for hints, I can not be so sure that they are correct because I am at camp and without my book. I will give this hint for I am almost positive that it is correct. It is said by a hobbit and not in FotR. I hope those might help.

Hi Narduewen!

Is this the quote?

That is, of course, Pippin to young Bergil son of Beregond.

[ July 23, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

That it would be, Lostgaeriel! You may proceed.

Yeah, yeah, it's a very easy quote.

But one of my favourites - I'm a world class procrastinator. (Been dead & in the Barrow for almost 2 years and this is only my 495th post!?)

[ July 23, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

Oh Lostgaeriel, you're really good to have found the last quote! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I had been searching for that everywhere without success!
And I am happy that you posted one that I recognize... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
says Sam to Frodo (in Lothlorien, about their quest.)

Yes, Guinevere, you are correct! Please proceed. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you, Lostgaeriel!
Just recently I came across another fine Middle-earth proverb:

Does no one recognize this proverb?
I'll give you a hint: it's from Unfinished Tales!

That's Mablung musing about Turin's 'harrassment' of Saeros.

You've got it, Evisse! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] your turn.

Well, guessing is the easy part. Now I have to think of a saying that doesn't give too much away - Btw, yours was great, Guinevere!
Well - here it is ( piece of cake):

That was Legolas on the way down from Caradhras.

Exactly.

I didn't give the rest of the quote in hope of making it more difficult, but apparently you weren't fooled by it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Go on!
