The best Quotes by Thorin Eichenschild

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Go back to your books, your fireplace. Plant your trees, watch them grow. If more of us valued home above gold, it would be a merrier world.

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.

True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.

While there's life there's hope.

I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

Farewell, o Gandalf! May you ever appear where you are most needed and least expected!

So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings.

Short cuts make for long delays.

Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the walls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they have long known.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.

[Riddle for Gollum]
What have I got in my pocket?

Your mother loved you, Legolas, more than anything. More than life itself.

You have no power here, servant of Morgoth! You are nameless! Faceless! Formless! Go back to the void from whence you came!

Legolas: "Why did you do that? You promised to set him free."
Thranduil: "And I did. I freed his wretched head from his miserable shoulders."

One hundred years is a mere blink in the life of an elf! I'm patient. I can wait.

It is fruitless to reason with a dwarf. They only understand one thing.

Other lands are not my concern. The fortunes of the world will rise and fall, but here in this kingdom, we will endure.

You have found a way in. You seek that which would bestow upon you, the right to rule. The King's Jewel. The Arkenstone. It is precious to you beyond measure, I understand that. The gems in the Mountain that I, too, desire - white gems, of pure starlight. I offer you my help. I will let you go, if you but return what is mine.

Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was. So will it always be. In time all foul things come forth.

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place,
Not in high place."

No-legs lay on one-leg,
two-legs sat near on three-legs,
four-legs got some.
[Fish on a table, man on a stool, cat gets the scraps]

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
[Darkness]

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
[Time]

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?
[Mountain]

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
[Fish]

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
[Wind]

The Jedi are trained to let go. They're trained from birth. They're not supposed to form attachments. They can love people – in fact, they should love everybody. They should love their enemies; they should love the Sith. But they can't form attachments. So what all these movies are about is: greed. Greed is a source of pain and suffering for everybody.

To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.

You see everyone wants everything, that's the way the world is. But I just might actually get it.

This is how it's done. When people are sittin' on shit that you want, you make 'em your enemy. Then you're justified in taking it.

A hero is not the one who never falls. He is the one that who gets up, again and again, never losing sights of his dreams.

But he was home. Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here.

It's like you're homesick for a place that doesn't even exist.

I look at you, and I... and I'm home. Please! I don't want that to go away. I don't want to forget.

It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.

Home is a hard place to leave, even if you are unhappy there.
