I use 'fool of a Took' quite a lot as it is such a great insult, not too mean but so fun to say!

I also sing Sam's oliphaunt song whenever we go to the zoo, though I do have to make up some sections as I can never remember it all.

Adding 'precioussss' to the end of sentences is amusing, especially if you do it near people who have either never read/seen LotR as they simply think you are slightly crazed.

Also I say 'hannon le' for thank you and 'mae govannen' for nice to meet you but they aren't really quotes as such.

I do often sing little songs from the LotR to myself as I'm walking along (yo my own tunes). I memorised the whole of the Song of the Ent and Entwife once... forgot it again though.

Sometimes I'll say "Aure entuluva" to myself when I'm slightly annoyed at modern life, though I don't usually voice it.

Aside from using quotes most of you have already mentioned, I also use Shadowfax's famous line when I plow through the ranks of humanity trying to come between me and home (and Naruto, but that's a given.)

C'mon, I know you know what I'm talking about.

Neigh!

I say 'Don't tempt me, Frodo!' whenever any of my friends call to go out and I should stay home and get some work done, or any lovely vices that will take the place of duties!

And with Lalwende, I call mid morning snack 'second breakfast', it seems more natural.

'And not for the last time' from The Hobbit , on any occasion when I know I will think of something or do something many times.

Here in Germany, the mid-morning snack is actually called "second breakfast"! We must be hobbits after all...

I'm quite guilty of stating that we're having "ta-mah-toes, sausages, and nice crispy bacon", whether we are or not... which come to think of it is odd, because I hate sausage and I'm only tolerant of bacon on a cheeseburger.
If there is a no-passing sign on the road, I can't help but say in a completely serious voice... "You shall not pass."

Random wisps of cloud get the crebain-from-Dunland treatment, and "What is this new devilry?" is as much a part of my vocabulary as "What the heck is that thing?".

The Frodo-accented "You're late." is a bit of a given, really, as most of my friends have a bitterly life-long war waged with punctuality.

I've also muttered "Nirnaeth Arnoediad" on a few occasions... not because it applied at all to the situation, but more because it's terribly fun to say.

I use "Fool of a Took" extensively, because I call my sister that every time she's being weird, getting on my nerves, or I just want to irritate her. It's almost become her nickname!

Beyond that, both my sister and I say "Get off the road!". I'm not sure why, but it just fits, especially when you're walking and a car is coming. It's so perfect.
