There And Back Again

[Hirilaelin]

Do you perhaps mean Thorin? Anyway, the last thing that Balin said to Bilbo in the book was...

"The new Master is of wiser kind,' said Balin, "and very popular, for, of course, he gets most of the credit for the present prosperity. They are making songs which say that in his day the rivers run with gold."

If you meant Thorin...

"No!" said Thorin. "There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more men valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!"
