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.

The wise speak only of what they know

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater."

A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.

I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

“Little by little, one travels far."

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

Courage is found in unlikely places.

I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.

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.

“Darkness must pass, a new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer."

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.

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:
