JRR Tolkien celebrated his birthday on this date. This time last year, we had facts about him, this year, some quotes.
- 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.
- Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
- If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
- Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.
- All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
- Courage is found in unlikely places.
- They say it is the first step that costs the effort. I do not find it so. I am sure I could write unlimited 'first chapters'. I have indeed written many.
- 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.
- Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
