Quote of the Day


Cit0

Recommended Posts

I plan to post a new quote as often as I can on a daily basis for all to derive from.   If I miss a day or you feel like posting one yourself that feels pertinent to the day, please do so.  

 

First quote: From Tolkien's "The Hobbit"

 

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

"The fount is these nine days dry.  The prayers that did begin then, and the lamentations in sackcloth and ashes, and the holy processions, none of these have ceased nor night nor day; and so the monks and the nuns and the foundlings be all exhausted, and do hang up prayers writ upon parchment, sith that no strength is left in man to lift up voice.  And at last they sent for thee, Sir Boss, to try magic and enchantment; and if you could not come, then was the messenger to fetch Merlin, and he is there these three days now, and saith he will fetch that water though he burst the globe and wreck its kingdoms to accomplish it; and right bravely doth he work his magic and call upon his hellions to hie them hither and help, but not a whiff of moisture hath he started yet, even so much as might qualify as mist upon copper mirror an ye count not the barrel of sweat he sweateth betwixt sun and sun over dire labors of his task"

 

Sir Ozana Le Cure Hardy speaking to "The Boss"

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

Saw your post and thought of this.. Bilbo made one of the best comments ever: "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."

Nope, sure isn't my friend. Bilbo said this at his 111 Birthday party. Skip to around 50 seconds if you want to see the quote :D
