J.R.R. Tolkien: Never laugh at live dragons

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

“It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing.”

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

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

“Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien
