    Here are 12 inspiring J.R.R. Tolkien quotes that continue to resonate with readers today. It has been about 80 years since Tolkien's best known works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, were published but these quotes are as relevant in our modern world as they were in Middle Earth.

    There never does seem to be enough time to learn all of the things I'd like to learn.

    I wish life was not so short quote from Tolkien

    "I wish life was not so short," he thought. "Languages take such a time, and so do all of the things one wants to know about."

    Substitute hate, disregard, condescension, derision, ridicule, etc. and this is how I feel about just about every political social media post.

    It is useless to meet revenge with revenge, it will heal nothing.
    "It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing."

    We all get preoccupied with our wants sometimes that we forget to just enjoy life.

    If more of us valued food and chher and song above hoarded gold it would be a merrier world.
    "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

    I could have made this into 4 separate quotes because I love every part. Right now the second half speaks to me the most; I need to be strong and deep as age.

    All that is gold does not glitter quote from Tolkien

    I admit there are times when I would like to hide from the world, but it always has a way of sneaking back in, doesn't it?

    The wide world is all about you quote from Tolkien
    "The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourself in, but you cannot forever fence it out."

    Oh if only I could convince my son that homework would be over faster if he stopped complaining about it and just did it.

    It is the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.
    "It's the job that's never started as takes the longest to finish."

    That thing I don't want to do, usually turns out to be the one thing I most need to do. And trying to avoid it doesn't make it go away.

    A man that flies from his fear quote from tolkien
    "A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it."

    Maybe the courage comes from your children, maybe it comes from a blog post (like this one!). Find what gives you strength.

    COurage is found in unlikely places
    "Courage is found in unlikely places"

    It is human nature to want to quit when things get tough.

    Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens
    "Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens."

    Anything in life I have had worthwhile has always come after a struggle.

    You can only come through the morning through the shadows
    "You can only come to the morning through the shadows."

    What else would a food blogger end with?

    Where there's ;ofe there's hope and need of vittles
    "Where there's life there is hope, and need of vittles."

    Which one are your favorites? Mine has changed 4 times since I started this post. I think a lot depends on what message you need to hear at the moment. Right now, my stomach says I need vittles.
