Monday Morning Quote – J.R.R. Tolkien on Good Mornings
During the long, cold weekend in Beijing, I was curled up on the couch reading through an old copy of The Hobbit when I came across a perfect Monday Morning Quote to help you cleverly stave off all the good mornings from your colleagues before that first cup of oh-so-welcome coffee. Straight from the mouth of Gandalf the Grey in response to the morning salutations of his friend Bilbo Baggins:

‘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; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?’
- J.R.R. Tolkien |
