== Featured Quote Nominations ==

There have never really been any standards for a '''Featured Quote''', but let us begin. Following the general model of the '''Featured Article''', let's specify a nomination followed by five affirmative votes; state either '''Agree''' or '''Disagree'''. The nominated quote should not exceed a single paragraph.

=== Legolas Quote Re: Prince Imrahil ===

The following is one of my favorites, and I hope we can begin by anointing it with this high honor:

{{quote|That is a fair lord and a great captain of men. If [[Gondor]] has such men still in these days of fading, great must have been its glory in the days of its rising.|[[Legolas of Mirkwood|Legolas]] speaking of [[Imrahil|Prince Imrahil]], ''[[The Return of the King]]'', [[The Last Debate]]}}

:'''Agree'''. Wonderful quote. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 12:30, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

:'''Agree'''. Beautiful words. :) ~~ [[User:Þelma|Þelma]] 13:30, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

:'''Agree'''. Truly beautiful words. -- [[User:Eldarion Telcontar|Eldarion Telcontar]] 14:11, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

:'''Agree'''. Thought-provoking. -- Ingwe

:'''Agree'''. Looks good to me, updating the [[Main Page]] right now.-- Hyarion

===Elrond-Gimli exchange===
{{quote|'Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens,' said [[Gimli]].<br>'Maybe,' said [[Elrond]], 'but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.'|''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', [[The Ring Goes South]]}}

:'''Agree'''. Though technically, I'd agree with any quote nom. What happened to the system? Was it to be weekly or monthly? -- {{User:Ederchil/sig}}

::Very true, anything for a change. Perhaps an automated system that selected a quote from a database would be better, I seem to recall seeing that discussed somewhere a while ago. '''Agree'''. --[[User:Aule the Smith|Aule the Smith]] 21:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

:::'''Agree'''. Quite proverbial. -Ingwe

::::'''Agree''' - Very interesting quotation.--{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 17:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Agree''' - It definetely makes you think (obviously it's Elrond)--Breragor

=== Tolkien's Own ===
'''It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.'''--J.R.R.

OR
'''The Hobbits are just rustic English people, made small in size because it reflects the generally small reach of their imagination.'''--J.R.R.

OR
'''I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.'''--J.R.R.
When voting for these I suggest you say the first is "Number 1", the second "Number 2", and the third "Number 3". So when you agree/disagree include the number please.
