But, if men be bad, let the government be ever so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn.»

My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many - yours not least.»
«A vain man finds it wise to speak good or ill of himself; a modest man does not talk of himself»
