Thumbs up correct !

Well done, Mariska! I thought this one would be hard to find, since it is so general.

Well, it seems that Mariska isn't around to confirm my answer, but as I know it is correct, I will go ahead and post a new proverb.

I'm looking, but it seems to be a Sil quote, and it's been too long since I've read that... A clue sounds good!

Nope. That was a different quote altogether and I believe Frodo said that Gollum and it went something like this - May the third time prove the best.
So anyway you're totally off.

Sleepy, do you have your book with you? If so - check it out: chapter "Of Herbs amd Stewed Rabbit". Sam says:
Quote:
Third time pays for all. I want some herbs.
Ah, to prove Sleepy wrong!

It may be in more than one place, of course. But this is certainly one of them.

Well, now that I've checked properly. I have found it occurs thrice. Once where Evisse mentioned and twice in the Hobbit. Seeing as it wasn't such a good quote you may pose the next question Evisse.

No, it was a very good quote. And obviously a favourite of Tolkien's, since he used it so often!
