What Would Thorin Oakenshield Say?

A few days ago, I posted about the goodies I got for Christmas. 
 
 
Since his outfit was too dark for "Elf on the Shelf" parody pictures, I took some photos using a green army blanket and a sky-blue backdrop.  I substituted various terrain pieces, but settled on the two sets of ruins flanking Thorin.  Both images are done-over with an ink-sketch program to make them look hand-drawn.
 
After finagling with the images, I set out on a cyber-quest for some suitable quotes that would match Thorin's fighting stance.
 
The top image contains Thorin's challenge to Smaug.
 
My favorite though, is the following one from the Rankin/Bass animated film:
