Thank you, Evisse. The amount of proverbs in Tolkiens books is astonishing ! (I've started collecting them...) Most of them he made up himself, I guess, but they sure sound like genuine old sayings.
Quote:

Gandalf to Pippin after he swore the oath to Denethor.
|
correct! Your turn again, Evisse [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] !
|
Okay, I worked hard to get his one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hm, so far, I've no idea where to look for that one! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
|
The full quote is
Quote:
|
Would that be Barliman Butterbur?
|
Yes. Would you mind elaborating on the circumstances?
Then you're free to post a new one. |
Hahaha, I could be a jerk and say "In The Prancing Pony".... nah. It was part of his response to Frodo about who and what Strider was. Right after he said "Goes about at a great pace on his long shanks; though he don't tell nobody what cause he has to hurry".

ok, I swear I had put the next one in my last response....whatever.
Quote:
|
Aragorn to the Fellowship when they are landing at Parth Galen (below Amon Hen)
(But that's not a proverb??) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] |
was it supposed to be? ahhhhh, I'm sorry. *hangs head* oh well. You got it! Even if the question was wrong...*twitch* ok.
|
Never mind, Mithisilien! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But look at the title of the thread... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I have no idea why it didn't register. I tend to miss stuff like that... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
|
Does no one recognize that proverb? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] To give you a hint: it's from TTT . [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
|
Was it Theoden?
|
Yes, [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] but to whom and where?
|
To Aragorn and Gandalf, about the Palantir in Isengard.
What do you mean, it took me a long time to find it??? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Okay, I just forgot, I'm sorry... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] |
Right you are, Mariska! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please proceed!
|
Ok thanks!
I really hope this next one counts as a proverb, adage, aphorism, saw, wise saying or cliché or whatever... Quote:
|
Ah, that is Gandalf to Pippin in Minas Tirith! And afterwards he adds "One piece I greatly desire to find is Faramir."
|
That's it, of course [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Do you need a hint? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] It's from U.T.

Thanks for the hint!
That was Gelmir talking to Tuor. [ October 20, 2003: Message edited by: Mariska Greenleaf ] |
It certainly was, Mariska! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please continue.
(I feared already no one would ever come and look at this thread...) |
It took me some time to come up with a new one, but, at last here it is...
Quote:
|
This starts with "Many are the strange chances of the world..." and is said by Mithrandir to Elrond at the first White Council (In the Silm.)
|
Very good!
Tour turn! |
Thank you! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Theoden talking to Merry...

That's it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That one took quite a lot of searching! First I thought it was Ulmo to Tuor, but he says "Do as your heart and valour lead thee."
Then I found Turin saying to Niniel:" Do as your heart bids you." But finally I found the right one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]: "Do as your heart calls, onya." said Meneldur to Aldarion before he went on his first voyage. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
good job!
All yours. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] |
Thank you Mariska. Ha, now I must be careful not to use one of the proverbs from Esty's new game [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img](btw I have been contributing to that one)
Hmmm how about: Quote:
|
Do you need a hint? It's in TTT.
|
That was Legolas talking to Aragorn and Gimli.
|
Yes! Well done, Mariska! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
(I wonder why we two are the only ones on this thread?? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) |
Yes, it is indeed strange, because this is a wonderful topic isn't it?
Oh well, I got a new one for you: Quote:
