Quote by J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973)

• It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.

• Not all those who wander are lost.

• I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

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

• Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

• I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence.
