I just caught the missing word from my quote.

Hopefully, someone would want to get it now.

Hiriel · 09-15-2005, 09:26 PM

That would be Tuor to Voronwe, I think.

Quote:

"Maybe...But not in all lands is it safe to hunt, be the game never so plentiful. And hunters tarry on the road."

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-15-2005, 09:31 PM

Your thread.

Hiriel · 09-16-2005, 10:00 PM

Thanks.

"Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens."

The Perky Ent · 09-16-2005, 10:24 PM

I believe it was Gimli who said it when the fellowship was leaving Rivendell

Hiriel · 09-17-2005, 01:34 PM

Indeed it was, Perks. Your thread.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 09-28-2005, 06:53 AM

Oy! Perky! New quote needed!

Sleepy Ranger · 10-01-2005, 01:52 PM

Perky Ent? Where are you? We need a new Quote.

"the tree grows best in the land of its sires;"

Sorry, I really forgot about this thread

Firefoot · 10-02-2005, 09:55 AM

Aragorn to Frodo.

The Perky Ent · 10-03-2005, 12:32 PM

You should know! You asked it around 4 pages ago

Your turn

Firefoot · 10-03-2005, 04:02 PM

Did I? Huh.

Quote:

"Not all that speak the fair tongue are fair at heart."

Hiriel · 10-04-2005, 06:11 PM

Herm, that'd be Sador to Turin.

Quote:

'Mind me not! But though it is pleasant to speak the old tongue with one that speaks it fair as in time past, the days are ill, and one must be wary. Not all that speak the fair tongue are fair at heart."

Firefoot · 10-04-2005, 08:00 PM

Nice work. Your go!

Hiriel · 10-06-2005, 06:03 PM

Thanks. Herm, here's one.

Quote:

"It is best to love..."

Firefoot · 10-06-2005, 07:05 PM

"It is best to love first what you are fitted to love."

Merry to Pippin.

Hiriel · 10-07-2005, 06:52 PM

One of mine, too.

Your thread.

Guinevere · 11-18-2005, 08:46 AM

It's been a while, so I guess I'm authorized to set a new quote:

Quote:

Wise man trusts not to chance-meeting on the road

Firefoot · 12-05-2005, 03:45 PM

Faramir to Frodo.

Guinevere · 12-06-2005, 08:04 AM

Correct, of course.
Your turn again, Firefoot.

Firefoot · 12-06-2005, 04:12 PM

I could have sworn I posted an answer to this ages ago...

Guess not.

Quote:

"Few can forsee whither their road will lead them till they come to its end."

Eonwe · 12-08-2005, 01:41 PM

a stab in teh dark: galadriel to aragorn?

Guinevere · 12-08-2005, 02:30 PM

Nay, it is Legolas to Gimli and Aragorn when they arrive at the edge of Fangorn.

Firefoot · 12-08-2005, 03:14 PM

Guinevere has it!

Guinevere · 12-10-2005, 10:01 AM

Thanks, Firefoot!

Quote:

Oft the unbidden guest proves the best company

Dimturiel · 12-11-2005, 08:02 AM

Eomer to Gimli at Helm's Deep?

Guinevere · 12-11-2005, 03:37 PM

Correct, Dimturiel!

Dimturiel · 12-12-2005, 11:43 AM

Thanks.

Quote:

and the old linger, withering.

Guinevere · 12-15-2005, 03:55 AM

that's Théoden speaking to Gandalf:

"Alas for Boromir the brave! The young perish and the old linger, withering."

(Rather strange that he doesn't mention Theodred!)

Dimturiel · 12-15-2005, 11:26 AM

The thread is yours, Guinevere.

Guinevere · 12-16-2005, 04:53 AM

Thanks, Dimturiel!

Quote:

One good turn deserves another

Dimturiel · 01-10-2006, 12:44 PM

Frodo to Gollum in the Emyn Muil.

Guinevere · 01-11-2006, 02:20 PM

right!

Dimturiel · 01-12-2006, 12:45 PM

Thanks!

Quote:

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2006, 07:47 PM

Aragorn, in LR Appendix A I v.

Dimturiel · 01-13-2006, 11:53 AM

Correct!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-14-2006, 04:11 AM

Talking won't mend nothing.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-18-2006, 03:08 AM

Anyone?

Guinevere · 01-18-2006, 04:06 AM

This is Sam, muttering to himself, right before he casts away his pans (and other stuff) in Mordor.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-18-2006, 07:25 AM

Your turn.
