Okay, part of a quote. Giving the whole thing would make it too easy.

Hm, that's very short!
Is this perhaps part of this "proverb":

"In the morning counsels are best and night changes many thoughts." ?

If yes, it is said by Theoden to Hirgon, in "The Muster of Rohan".

If you browse through some previous posts you can easily see that it works like most of these "Quotable quotes" threads: you have to find out who said this to whom and when.
If your answer is correct, you write the next quote (in this thread it's all about "proverbs" or clichés, from any of Tolkien's works. Well, up to now, we've only used quotes from LotR, Hobbit, Silm, U.T.)
Good luck!

wrong guess, sorry!
It's not Bilbo who says this, but the quote is indeed from "The Hobbit".

Sorry, Evisse, that guess is wrong!
But I have to apologize, this quote isn't said by anyone, it's just in the narrative...
Shall I tell you where it is from, or would you like to take another guess?

Yup, I'd like a hint!

Well, actually, by hint I don't rightly know what I mean since if you told me the circumstance or something like that, it would probably give it away....

Is it from Lotr?

From the 'Of Men' chapter in the Silmarillion, I'm guessing.

Funny that Gimli does say something similar-ish when talking to Legolas in Minas Tirith about the 'deeds of men'.
