Some quotes by Tolken:
Not all those who wander are lost.
There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.
It is the job that is never started that takes longest to finish.
The wise speak only of what they know.
You can only come to the morning through the shadows.
Courage is found in unlikely places.
Fair speech may hide a foul heart.
The world is full enough of hurts and mischance without wars to multiply them.
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.
The wide world is all about you; you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.
I wish life was not so short, he thought. Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.
Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate.
