"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?" An Unexpected Party

"I brought him [Bilbo], and I don't bring things that are of no use. Either help me to look for him, or I go and leave you here to get out of the mess as best you can yourselves. If we can only find him again, you will thank me before all this is over." Out of the Frying-Pan Into the Fire

"Well done! Mr. Baggins!" he said, clapping Bilbo on the back. "There is always more to you than anyone expects!" A Thief in the Night

Any quote that Thorin says? Since you did not specify anything in particular, here is one which I just randomly opened The Hobbit to.

"You! You!" cried Thorin, turning upon [Bilbo] and grasping him with both hands, "You miserable hobbit! You undersized -- burglar!" he shouted at a loss for words, and he shook poor Bilbo like a rabbit. "By the beard of Durin! I wish I had Gandalf here! Curse him for his choice of you! May his beard wither! As for you I will throw you into the rocks!" he cried and lifted Bilbo in his arms.

That wasn't a very amiable quote, I must say. I don't want you to get any queer impressions of dear Thorin, may he rest in peace, since that is not at all his normal manner. Therefore, here is another quote by him, which describes his character quite well.

" 'We are met to discuss our plans, our ways, means, policy and devices. We shall soon before the break of day start on our long journey, a journey from which some of us, or perhaps all of us (except our friend and counsellor, the ingenious wizard Gandalf) may never return. It is a solemn moment. Our object is, I take it, well known to us all. To the estimable Mr Baggins, and perhaps to one or two of the younger dwarves (I think I should be right in naming Kili and Fili, for instance), the exact situation at the moment may require a little brief explanation -- '

This was Thorin's style. He was an important dwarf. If he had been allowed, he would probably have gone on like this until he was out of breath, without telling anyone there anything that was not known already."

Boromir: One does not simply walk in to Mordor

Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast Pip

Gandalf: I am Gandalf the White. And I come back to you now… at the turn of the tide

Gollum:But the fat Hobbit, he knows. Eyes always watching *best lines

From the book:

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door, you step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Courage is found in unlikely places.

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

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken: The crownless again shall be king.

Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.

The road goes ever on and on

Home is behind, the world ahead. And there are many paths to tread. Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. . . . Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade!

Where there's life there's hope, and need of vittles.

Thou fool. No living man may hinder me! / But no living man am I!

The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.

All's well that ends better.

One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes where managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you, but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all.

Why did Gandalf visit Bilbo baggins in hobbit?

If it is in the Hobbit, it is to get Bilbo started on his adventure. If it is in the Fellowship of the Ring it is to have the ring returned to the mountain to be destroyed.

Does gollum like Bilbo?

Considering that he tries to kill and eat Bilbo in "The Hobbit" and hates Frodo and Sam merely because they are related to Bilbo, I'd say that Gollum doesn't like Bilbo.


In The Hobbit do you think Bilbo should have gone on the mission alone?

First off, I'm assuming that by "mission, "you are referring to the Quest of Erebor as a whole, and not a specific part of it. Well, since Bilbo had no prior knowledge of anything outside the Shire before Gandalf and 13 dwarves burst into Bag End, he would probably have lived out his days comfortably and unexcitedly in his smial, and never had to worry about a dragon. As it was, Bilbo was essentially drafted into the pary and hustled out the door (without a pocket handkerchief, no less!) by Gandalf, with little say in the matter. So, no. Bilbo could and should not have gone on the mission alone, because he would not have known it existed.


What is a burrahobbit?

read the book "the hobbit" and you will find out that Bilbo didn't mean to say it at all he almost said burglar but quickly changed it to hobbit so it came out burrahobbit


In the Fellowship of the Ring why did Bilbo not join the fellowship on the quest?

In The Fellowship of the Ring, in the council of Elrond, Bilbo at first believes that everyone expects him to take the Ring to be destroyed, saying, "It is plain enough what you are pointing at. Bilbo the silly hobbit started this affair, and Bilbo had better finish it, or himself."However, nobody expected him to go, and Gandalf told him, "...The word was meant, and we do not doubt that you are making a valiant offer. But one beyond your strength, Bilbo. You cannot take this thing back. It has passed on. If you need my advice any longer, I should say that your part is ended, unless as a recorder. Finish your book, and leave the ending unaltered! But get ready to write a sequel." Thus, Gandalf told him very gently that he was to old, and that he was no longer needed, except to write of the fellowships adventures.Also, as Bilbo said, "I don't suppose I have the strength or luck left to deal with the Ring. It has grown, and I have not."In a nutshell, Bilbo was to old to go on any more adventures.

Most hobbits say that Bilbo is cracked (mad) and at one point a hobbit says "...and young frodo here, he's cracking!". Most think that they're too adventurous (for a hobbit, that is.)


What does Thorin threaten to do to Bilbo?

"You asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I chose Mr. Baggins. Just let anyone say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house, and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal."Hope that answers it for you.


Why is it nesscary to the story that Gandolf leave the experdition The Hobbit?

He had other pressing matters. You find out later that he drove the Necromancer (Sauron) out of the Mirkwood area. Addendum: The above is definitely the reason given in the Hobbit: Gandalf and the White Council drive Sauron from Dol Guldur forcing him to relocate to his old realm of Mordor. It turns out Sauron was ready for this and didn't suffer much from the displacement. However, it should be noted there's also a literary reason for this. In terms of plot and Bilbo's development as a heroic character, it really is required that Gandalf be moved offstage. Gandalf is too powerful, too capable, and too overwhelming a figure. If Gandalf's there, he'd wave his staff, say a few words, and all problems would be resolved and we'd have a book without drama. Gandalf can handle a few spiders and would just talk to the Elf King who he's probably on a first name basis with. Because Gandalf is gone, Bilbo is forced to assume the mantle of leadership and save the dwarves from the spiders, then the elves, and then confront the dragon alone. This is pretty common in literature and movies. The hero must be left to face adversity alone because its through this process that he or she becomes the hero.
