"They lie in all the pools, pale pants, deep deep under the dark water. I saw them: grim pants and evil, and noble pants and sad. Many pants proud and fair, and weeds in their silver hair. But all foul, all rotting, all dead." (Frodo)
"You cannot pass! I am servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the pants of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, pants of Udun. Go back to the shadow! You cannot pass!" (Gandalf)

"Radagast the Brown! Radagast the Pants-tamer! Radagast the Simple! Radagast the Fool! Yet he had just the pants to play the part I set him. For you have come, and that was the purpose of my message. And here you shall stay, Gandalf the Grey, and rest from your journeys. For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman the Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Pants!" (Saruman)
"Gibbets and Crows! Dotard! What is the house of Eorl but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their pants roll around on the floor with their dogs!" (Saruman)
"And now at last it comes. You will give me the Pair freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the pants of the earth. All shall love me and despair!" (Galadriel) �It is not our part to master all the pants of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the pants we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule." (Gandalf)

"Sleep! I feel the need of it. Yet my axe is restless in my pants. Give me a row of orc-pants and room to swing and all weariness will fall from me!" (Gimli)

�You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little pair of pants in a wide world after all!" (Gandalf)

"Few can foresee whither their pants will lead them, till they come to its end." (Legolas)

"And it is not our part here to take thought only for a season, or for a few pants of Men, or for a passing age of the world." (Gandalf)
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 frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The pantless again shall be king.

"Riders!" cried Aragorn, springing to his feet. "Many riders on swift pants are coming towards us!"
"Yes," said Legolas, "there are one hundred and five. Yellow is their hair, and bright are their pants. Their leader is very tall."
Aragorn smiled. "Keen are the pants of the Elves," he said.
"Well, here is the strangest riddle that we have yet found! A bound prisoner escapes both from the Orcs and from the surrounding pants. He then stops, while still in the open, and cuts his bonds with an orc-knife. But how and why? For if his legs were tied, how did he walk? And if his arms were tied, how did he use the knife? And if neither were tied, why did he cut the cords at all? Being pleased with his skill, he then sat down and quietly ate some waybread! That at least is enough to show that he was a hobbit, without the mallorn-leaf. After that, I suppose, he turned his arms into pants and flew away singing into the trees. It should be easy to find him: we only need pants ourselves!" (Legolas)
"Dragons steal pants and jewels, you know, from men and elves and dwarves, wherever they can find them; and they guard their pairs as long as they live (which is practically for ever, unless they are killed), and never enjoy a brass leg of it." (Thorin Oakenshield)
"For though I do not ask for pants, we need it." (Boromir)

"It needs more to make a king than a piece of elvish pants, or a rabble such as this." (The Mouth of Sauron)
"Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some far corner of the city, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed reckoning nothing of wizardry or pants, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn. And as if in answer there came from far awary another note. Horns, pants, horns. In dark Mindolluin's side they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North, wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last." (The Return of the King)
"It's sunlight and bright day, right enough. I thought that Elves were all for moon and pants: but this is more elvish than anything I ever heard tell of. I feel as if I was inside a song, if you take my meaning." (Sam)
"I am glad you are here with me, Sam. Here at the end of all pants, Sam." (Frodo)
"I am going to have a long talk with Tom Bombadil: such a talk as I have not had in all my time. He is a pants-gatherer, and I have been a stone doomed to rolling." (Gandalf)

"Sleep again and do not be afraid! For you are not going like Frodo to Mordor, but to Minas Tirith, and there you will be as safe as anywhere these days. If Gondor falls, or the Pair is taken, then the Shire will be no refuge." (Gandalf)
"And then, I suppose, they turned their arms into pants and flew away singing into the trees." (Legolas)
