- Let them come! There is one Dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath.
- Axes are not just for chopping wood, as many an orc has learned to their sorrow at Helm’s Deep.
- At the Pelennor Fields, my axe sang a song of death, and many were the foes that fell before it.
- In battle, a Dwarf’s courage burns as bright as the forges of our deepest mines.
- Give me a good axe and a clear foe, and you will see Dwarf valor that songs are made of.
- Once I thought elves were all prancing leaves, but Legolas showed me the steel beneath.
- Elf and Dwarf, walking together. Who would have thought such a thing in the dark days?
- In Legolas, I found not only an ally but a brother. The forests and the mountains stand together.
- Our friendship is a bridge, built from respect and battle, strong enough to bear the weight of old grudges.
- Together, a Dwarf and an Elf can teach the world that old hatreds heal, in time and with courage.
- A good blade is the work of many days and many songs; the metal remembers every hammer blow.
- In every vein of ore, our history runs deep; we are our craft, as our craft is us.
- To forge a weapon is to converse with the earth—it tells you its secrets if you know how to listen.
- Dwarven craft is about more than skill; it’s about honoring the stone and metal we shape.
- Our halls are our legacy, each pillar and vault a chapter in the story of our people.
- Each member of the Fellowship brings their strength; mine is the steadfast might of the Dwarves.
- With my axe, I guard their backs, and with my heart, I guard their spirits.
- In the darkest tunnels, I lead, for the darkness is a friend to a son of Durin.
- Where words fail, let the axe speak; a Dwarf’s counsel is in his deeds.
- The Fellowship needs the might of the Dwarves, just as we need the light of the Elves and the courage of Men.
- If more of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, the world would be the merrier.
- Never trust an elf to get a job done—stick to a Dwarf if you want sturdiness and style.
- A laugh is often the sharpest weapon against despair. Especially if it’s followed by a good swing of an axe!
- Wisdom is not always in books; sometimes it’s in a good ale or a well-placed axe.
- Many a true word is spoken in jest, and many a good battle plan formed over a pint.
- A Dwarf’s loyalty is as solid as the mountains from which we hail.
- To Aragorn, I give my axe, my loyalty, and my life, for he is the king I choose to follow.
- We Dwarves are few, but our loyalty is as numerous as the stars when given freely.
- I stand by my friends, in battle and in rest, for their journey is mine, and mine is theirs.
- The bonds forged in the heat of battle are as strong as any mithril.
- The Glittering Caves of Aglarond are the finest halls not carved by Dwarven hands.
- In those caves, every whisper of wind is like a song sung by the stone itself.
- I pledged to make those caves a place of wonder, worthy of the Dwarves of old.
- The beauty of the caves reminds us that not all treasures come from the forge.
- Even a Dwarf can marvel at what time and nature can do with stone and water.
- Honor is the anvil upon which a true warrior’s heart is forged.
- Glory found in battle is glory earned by the bravery of every strike.
- A Dwarf’s honor is his bond, as solid and enduring as the deepest roots of the mountains.
- We seek not glory for its own sake, but as a testament to our deeds and our craft.
- True glory lies in doing what must be done, even if it remains unseen.
- Adaptability is as important as an axe in unfamiliar lands.
- From the deepest mines to the loftiest forests, a Dwarf learns to make the earth his home.
- We Dwarves are made for the mountains, but give us a cause, and we’ll thrive anywhere.
- The Paths of the Dead were cold and cursed, but even spirits recognize the heart of a Dwarf.
- Change is like a new seam of gold; you must learn to mine it if you are to prosper.
- Let them say that Gimli, son of Glóin, stood true to his friends and his name.
- May the halls I leave behind echo with the tales of my deeds and the laughter of my friends.
- The mark of a true Dwarf is what he builds, not just what he digs.
- I hope to leave Middle-earth a bit richer, not in gold but in the stories and bonds I’ve helped forge.
- As long as stone bears the marks of our chisels, the legacy of the Dwarves endures.
