J. R. R. Tolkien ...
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
"A pen is to me as a beak is to a hen."
"It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish."
"It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."
"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost."
