I said in an above post where and about what Gandalf said it. Please refer to that for my answer which hopefully is correct, Russandol.

Sorry to dash your hopes Dondagnirion but Pippin & palantirs have nothing to do with this quote.

Question

Could it have been Gandalf to Frodo after he woke up in Rivindell? (Did I just mispell Rivindell?, not all that shure how to spell it I must admit.)

Question

Could it be Gandalf about the severe casualties at the Battle Of Helms Deep? Running out of geusses here. I should steal Beren's brain and absorb his knowledge, MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

I'll give you a teensy clue - It was Gandalf - reflecting on a battle, but not Helms Deep.

Is it Gandalf about the battle at Osgiliath (after Faramir and his men have returned to Minas Tirith)?

I would say then that it is Gandalf reflecting on the battle at Minas Tirith in ROTK, because of the loss of Theoden comforting everyone by reminding them it could have gone much worse.

It's Gandalf reflecting on a battle wasn't in the body of the story at all.

That's my final clue.

Was it perhaps Gandalf about the Battle Of The Five Armies? Thanks for all the clues btw.

I believe that it is Gandalf talking about his confrontation with Denethor, and how things would have gone far worse had Merry and Pippin stayed behind as Elrond intended.

I've now officially confused myself, however, I'm going to guess that Frodo says it to Pippin during the journey to Frodo's new home. If that wrong then it's Pippin to Frodo, same place. *holds breath*

Ah, nope. =P

Frodo does say it, and to Pippin, but also to others. And a bit farther along in the story from your guess.

I just read that quote!

Wasn't it Frodo to Pippin, Merry and Sam?

EDIT: The whole quote :
Quote:
Sam! he called. 'Pippin! Merry! Come along!Why don't you keep up?'
The quote is in the chapter 'The fog on the barrowdowns'
