- I’m not the sort of hobbit who pokes his nose into adventures; they’re nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Yet, here I am.
- You might say I was pushed out of the door, and here I stand, far from home.
- Adventures? I suppose they begin with running, and not much thought about where the running will lead.
- I’ve always thought there’s nothing like sitting by your own fireside, but I’ve found a piece of myself out there, beyond the borders of the Shire.
- It turns out, even the smallest hobbit can find courage when it’s needed most.
- Thinking on your feet is just as important as being on them, especially when there are dragons involved.
- A little bit of cleverness and a lot of luck can turn even a sticky situation into an advantageous one.
- Never underestimate the power of a good distraction, particularly when trolls are involved.
- One must use the wits they’re given, for swords aren’t the only things that save lives.
- If you’re going to be a burglar, it’s best to be an invisible one. That’s something even the smartest goblins can’t fight.
- The Ring, it came to me, quite unexpectedly. It’s a curious thing, not just heavy to carry but heavy in the heart.
- This Ring, it gnaws at the edges of my mind, a whispering shadow, even in the brightest of days.
- I found the Ring in the dark, but I fear it also found something dark in me.
- The longer I hold it, the heavier it grows; not just in my pocket, but on my very soul.
- It’s a dangerous business, this Ring. It begins with wanting to be unseen, but soon you fear you’ll never be seen again.
- I’m more of a gentlehobbit of the Shire than a burglar, but sometimes, you have to play the role you’re given.
- A burglar? I hardly think so, though I seem to have a knack for sneaking, especially when it means getting out of trouble.
- They called me a burglar, but really, I was just a hobbit far from home, doing his best.
- The most unexpected part of this adventure? Me, being a burglar. And an invisible one at that!
- If being a burglar means outwitting dragons and rescuing friends, then perhaps it’s not such a bad thing to be.
- From hobbits to dwarves, from wizards to elves, my journey has been as much about making friends as crossing mountains.
- Thorin, he was more than a king; he was a friend, though it took us both some time to see it.
- The elves can be a bit lofty, but their hearts are good; they’ve shown me kindness more than once.
- It’s strange to think how little I knew of the world beyond my garden, and now I count friends in every corner of it.
- To sit at a table with so many different folk—it’s a finer adventure than any I had imagined.
- The Shire is not just a place on a map; it is where my heart takes root, no matter how far I wander.
- Every step away from the Shire is a step closer to returning, with tales that would fill a book.
- Home is the quietest of joys, an adventure of a gentler but no less profound kind.
- There’s no comfort like the familiar sight of the Party Tree, and no bed as soft as your own.
- I went out to see the mountains, and they were grand; but none of them are as enduring as the hills of home.
- A good poem helps lift the heart, or fill the silence left by the passing of great deeds.
- Songs are like paths. They take you back to times and places you might have forgotten.
- I’ve scribbled a verse or two, inspired by the things I’ve seen; for what’s an adventure if you can’t sing about it?
- Elven songs carry on the breeze like leaves; they remind you there’s beauty still in the world.
- A rhyme here and there keeps the spirits up, especially when the road is long and the shadows grow.
- Taking the Arkenstone wasn’t my proudest moment, but perhaps it was needed, like a little push to mend stubborn minds.
- Gollum’s riddle-game was a dangerous kind of theft, one that could have cost more than I was willing to pay.
- Ownership is a tricky thing, especially when what you own begins to own you.
- I’ve borrowed a thing or two in my time, always with a mind to set things right eventually.
- Sometimes, what you take can weigh on you more heavily than what you give.
- I hope my tales light a spark in young Frodo, as they once did in me.
- Every hobbit should have a bit of adventure, enough to make them love coming home.
- I’ve left a few maps and my old sword for Frodo; a little nudge toward his own journey, perhaps.
- May my stories be a light for him when all other lights go out.
- If I’ve shown Frodo that even a Baggins can have adventures, then I’ve done well by him.
- With age, comes not just wrinkles but wisdom, though sometimes it’s buried deep under the curls.
- I’ve grown old but not so old that I can’t enjoy a good tale or a fine meal. There’s wisdom in that, I think.
- The years teach much which the days never knew.
- Being considered wise is quite a responsibility, and one I never asked for, much like my adventures.
- As I look back, each wrinkle, each gray hair has its own story, and I wouldn’t part with a single one.
