J. R. R. Tolkien

English - Novelist January 3, 1892 - September 2, 1973

With the author

Courage is found in unlikely places.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Don't go getting mixed up in the business of your betters, or you'll land in trouble too big for you.

J. R. R. Tolkien

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.

J. R. R. Tolkien

The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside was their favourite haunt.

J. R. R. Tolkien

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

J. R. R. Tolkien

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

There's a duality of a guy calling on God: 'Where are you when I need you?' and then, at the same time, 'God helps those who help themselves.' I think that contradiction does exist in all of us, those of faith and those who profess to have no faith.

Joe Carnahan

It was seldom that I attended any religious meetings, as my parents had not much faith in and were never so unfortunate as to unite themselves with any of the religious sects.

Orson Pratt

My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.

Dalai Lama

Nobody really needs a painting. It's something you kind of create value for in a way that you don't with a company. It's an act of collective faith what an object is worth. Maintaining that value system is part of what a dealer does, not just making a transaction but making sure that important art feels important.

Larry Gagosian

That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs, but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves.

Chester W. Nimitz

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Mahatma Gandhi

I'm a scientist, not a theologian. I don't know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty. Revere and respect Gaia. Have trust in Gaia. But not faith.

James Lovelock

As I read the New Testament, I find only one path to salvation - the path of an informed faith in Jesus Christ.
