It is wisdom to recognize necessity when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.
J. R. R. Tolkien Quotes
Showing all text quotes-
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.Topics in Uncategorized
