Heh, not as difficult to place as I had thought. The quote is complete and Midge is right, it is a group of orcs. So your turn, Midge!

Only time for that much right now. And I re-ordered it a bit. I like my line breaks at punctuation marks, when possible.

If not Elrond, then almost surely Gandalf.

Certainly not nice! I doubted it, but it fit, so I went with it anyway.

All words are correct, except at the end somebody (I'm not going to work to discover which of you) added a "his" in the phrase "put him out of his reckoning". You will not find it in the original quote post. I know this because it was my instinct to include the "his" too, but it isn't in the book, so I took it out.
Gandalf is the speaker and yes, nicety is correct. Also - I usually put my breaks in the same place as my book has them. That way I can analyze one line at a time and they are the same. It's nice from this end, though I realize that not everyone has the same version and therefore it doesn't work across the board. However, as I, the poster, am the only one who SHOULD be looking it up, it works quite nicely, I think.

Oops - that someone was me. When I figure out words in a string, I tend to type in a line at once (and then delete the line with missing letters), instead of replacing word-by-word. It looks like I added the word when I did so.
"Despair or folly? It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak. A veil before the eyes of the Enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning."

Oooo... bad timing for me. I should have refrained because I'm out of town for Thur-Fri-Sat. Well, let's see if you guys can solve within about 22 hours.

I have a guess but I just posted the one before and would feel slightly hoggish to post a whole quote guess now...

Yeah, I remember the quote too, I think. Isildur talking.
"Ohtar,I give this now/_n_o/_o_r/_e_p_n_/; Save it from capture by all means that you can/_i_d/,and as all/_o_t_/, /even as the/_o_t/of/_e_n_/h_l_/a/_o_a_d/_h_/d_s_r_e_/m_/. /Take your/c_m_a_i_n/with you and/_l_e/! Go! I command you!"
