There is nothing in the feeling of weight in an idle toss-pot’s arms.

Said by the elf (the butler?) in charge of dispatching empty barrels from
Thranduil's pad back to Laketown (and tasting his best wine

).

Inziladun · 05-29-2010, 08:29 AM

Yes indeed, Tuor.

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-29-2010, 01:56 PM

Thanks, how about this one?

Sam, after seeing the wreck of the Shire in Galadriel's mirror.

Tuor in Gondolin · 05-31-2010, 11:49 AM

That's it. Now, was Ted Sandyman the White Ogre
or the Black Ogre? Guess I'll have to check HC's Biography.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 05-31-2010, 12:30 PM

Something actually relevant to the thread, in a way.

Quote:

"Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves."

Gandalf to Pippin about the Palantir

and you are right about the relevance, Ibri. There are so many wise sayings in Tolkien's works that are applicable to one's life!

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 06-02-2010, 09:50 AM

That's why I felt it might make a good "thought for the day."

The floor is yours, Guinevere.
