Tolkien quotes.....need some?

I'm looking for some of the brilliant quotes (pretty pretty please...not from the films unless it comes ver batim from the book(s).)

Looking for this type of thing:

The treacherous are ever distrustful" Gandalf

"The hasty stroke goes oft astray" Aragorn

"Where will wants not, a way opens" Eowyn as Dernhelm

"Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!" Eomer

"The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, and so the rightful king could ever be known" ioreth

"But who knows what she spoke to the darkness alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in?" Gandalf

"Pay heed to the tales of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know" Elrond

From any Tolkien jotting, doesn't have to be Middle-earth/Arda based

    The ones that go

    Not all who wander are lost

    Not all that glitters is gold

    Or Bilbo's song: the road goes ever on.
