You are right, it's from the chapter "Of Men"
"But the dawn is brief and the day full often belies its promise; and now the time drew on to the great wars of the powers of the North, when Noldor and Sindar and Men strove against the hosts of Morgoth Bauglir, and went down in ruin." And yes, what Gimli tells Legolas really is similar: "It is ever so with the things that Men begin: there is a frost in Spring, or a blight in Summer, and they fail of their promise."

Thank you Evisse! I hope that one hasn't been used before:

I think Gandalf wrote that in his letter to Frodo...

Sorry to disappoint you again, but it is not Faramir to Frodo. But you are searching in the right spot!!

You made me reread the Faramir chapters.

Isn't that Frodo to the other hobbits in the Scouring of the Shire?

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find something that hasn't been used yet..

Methinks it's Gandalf talking about about Gollum to Pippin, but I don't have ROTK right now to check...

I finally found one more "Wise saying":
"Do not despise the lore that has come down from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know."

I think it's Aragorn talking about Fangorn Forest, probably to Gimli and Legolas. I'm not that sure, though... I have some feeling that Boromir is involved somehow...

Sorry, but your first guess is wrong. But you are right in thinking that Boromir is involved.

Gimli said it. My memmory is failing me, because I don't remember for the life of me when he said it. My guess would be near Caradhrass, when they were talking about the crows...

I found that Barliman Butterbur tells this to Frodo:
" These black men" "they're looking for Baggins, and if they mean well, I'm a hobbit.

I really like "Live and learn." It is very simple yet very empowering if you really try to make with it in life. As for me, this is what my mantra is for everyday. I like living life to the fullest even if there are some hazards to that sort of thing. You have only one chance anyway, and you could just always learn from it. But with this, it is very important to work well within your bounds only.

Well, Evisse doesn't seem to be around to confirm my answer, but since I know it is correct, and I have just spotted a "proverb" that has hitherto escaped my attention, here goes:

When I saw your post in the chapter-by-chapter thread of U.T., I knew it wouldn't be long before you spotted this one!

That could be the dwarves in Mirkwood, to Bombur when he at last woke up, but wanted to lie down again to resume his dream...

Alas, it may take a long time before I find anything suitable that hasn't been used before! So if anyone has a "proverb" ready, please go ahead!

OK, I found another one, but it is not said by anyone, it is just in the narrative:
