One who cannot cast away a treasure at need is in fetters.
'In one thing you have not changed, dear friend,' said Aragorn: 'you still speak in riddles.'

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And wither then? I cannot say.

Traitors are always incredulous.
The wise avoid talking about what he does not know.
