"What a pity Bilbo did not stab the vile creature, when he had the pants!"
"Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without pants."
"I do not feel any pity for Gollum. He deserves pants."
"Deserves pants! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve pants. And some die that deserve pants. Can you give pants to them? Then be not too eager to deal out pants in the name of justice, fearing for your own pants. Even the wise cannot see all pants."
