Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.
None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master:
His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.

Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house.

Alas! I fear we cannot stay here longer,said Aragorn.He looked towards the mountains and held up his sword. Farewell,Gandalf!he cried.Did I not say to you: if you pass the doors of Moria,beware? Alas that I spoke true! What hope have we without you?

Ikke alt som er gull vil glitre, Ikke alle som vandrer har gått vill, Gammel styrke kan bil seig og ei forvitre, dypest rot når frosten ikke til, Av asken skal ild bli atter vekket, Fra skygger skal lys igjen fly, Når nysmid blir klingen som var knekket, Skal en troneløs bli konge på ny.

Still round the corner there may wait

A new road or a secret gate

And though I oft have passed them by

A day will come at last when I

Shall take the hidden paths that run

West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.

Alvar under blåna eig ringane tri.

Sju fekk dvergedrottane i salar av stein.

Menn som er saka til dauden, fekk ni,

men drotten for Myrkret ein einaste ein,

i landet Mordor der skuggane rår.

Ein Ring skal styra deim, ein Ring finna deim,

ein Ring tvinga deim og i Myrkret binda deim

i landet Mordor der skuggane rår.

In that hour of trial it was the love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sens: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

The only thing you have to decide is what to do with time that is given to you.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
