I finally found one more "Wise saying":

"Do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know."

I think it's Aragorn talking about Fangorn Forest, probably to Gimli and Legolas. I'm not that sure, though... I have some feeling that Boromir is involved somehow...

Sorry, but your first guess is wrong. But you are right in thinking that Boromir is involved.

Celeborn, talking to Boromir & Fellowship about Fangorn!

Guinevere · 05-20-2011, 01:20 PM

Yep, exactly!

Thanks!

For a lack of a better quote:

"For you remain my king, and theirs, whatever betide."

I don't remember who said it, but I think it was to Finrod
