From memory, I think it may have been Galadriel saying that it would be rash to say Gandalf was foolish to lead the Fellowship through Moria.

I have been wracking my brain and searching through the books, and I still can't find it. Rather surprising that it's not Gandalf; it sounds so like him. I'm guessing it's some major battle that had just begun, but it's none of the ones I've looked at.

If it helps, the quote was not spoken aloud. In fact, it says "he thought" rather than "he said".

Don't forget, if you're stuck, you can ask questions to narrow it down.

At a random guess, Pippin?

I thought Merry at first, but then I thought Pippin in Minas Tirith. So maybe it was Merry?

Not him either. And not in Minas Tirith.

Technically I don't think species narrows it all that much - eliminates Dwarves, Ents, and Ainur. Oh, and animals. But I presume you mean it was another Hobbit, and I can't think of Bilbo or Frodo saying it, so I guess it would be Sam. Still not sure where.

I'm going to place a small bet on Bilbo. Assuming we are including sources other than LotR.

I too think possibly Bilbo, in The Hobbit, since there are the chapters "The Gathering Storm" and also "The Clouds Burst" - but that would be too obvious...so if it's not that, is it in reference to the storm during the passage over the Misty Mountains, where they see the Stone Giants?

So its either Bilbo at the Battle of Five Armies, or Frodo and Sam. Maybe when they see the Witch-king leading the Army out of Minas Morgul?

I suppose it could potentially be Gollum too...

Alatar, your second-last guess is on the right track...
