J. R. R. Tolkien

Tolkien is most famous for writing the Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings books, each of which is fantastic in it’s own right.

However, there is a fair amount of wisdom in the pages of his writing, and some of it can be used to help us through different challenges and adversities in life.

For many, good philosophy is practical philosophy, and the best practical philosophy are those concepts that transcend the situations in which they’re written and apply broadly across multiple areas of life.

Here are some of the best quotes of Tolkien:

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

TOLKIEN

It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
