[OT] Looking for the EXACT Gandalf quote

[Kilmor]

Don't meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.

Please either confirm this, or correct me.

I want to make sure everything is perfect with the quote, including punctuation and capitalization.

Thanks

Right.

That would be:

Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

It's not a Gandalf quote though.

It's a quote from Gildor, the leader of the High Elves that the hobbits meet on the road to Bree.

Hope that helps!

And it is also said, "Go not to the Elves for council, for they will say both no and yes."

Which is what you just did.

It's from The Fellowship of the Ring, Book One, Chapter III: Three is Company:

Gildor was silent for a moment. 'I do not like this news,' he said at last. 'That Gandalf should be late, does not bode well. But it is said: Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. The choice is yours: to go or wait.
'And it is also said,' answered Frodo: 'Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.'

Thanks a lot, guys!

I gotta go and read them again.
