The word 'Hobbit' comes from 'Holbytlan' – hole-builder. The English word 'troglodyte' originally meant almost exactly the same (Gk. trōglodútēs, 'one who dwells in holes'). Today, 'troglodyte' means 'reclusive, reactionary or out-of-date person'. "I am a Hobbit" says Tolkien.
LOTR has many 'places of refuge', but there are also 'people of refuge'. Eg. In Lórien, Gimli is not in a safe space – he's surrounded and at the mercy of people who are suspicious/antagonistic toward him. But Galadriel, quoting a Dwarvish proverb, becomes a refuge for him.
Would anyone like to buy me the entire “All that’s gold does not glitter” poem, engraved on wooden bookmarks? Because man, @TheMiddleborne knows what he’s doing! middlebornearms.com

A few years back, I wrote this (unfinished but pretty cool) alliterative poem about Fram and the dragon, Scatha. --- From Anduin-vale rode forth Fram, Whose father, Frumgar, feared no phantom. Willing to fight for the full fruitful Vale, By flowing Langwell and Greylin Rivers.
@mrdavidrowe I might show this to my dyslexic kid as an encouragement. I'm always startled how many brilliant, valuable folks are dyslexic.
@mrdavidrowe @brentharmon_ Brent, make sure you purchase a copy of David Rowe's book 'The Proverbs of Middle-earth.' It's wonderful.
Tolkien Beatitudes: Blessed are the small, for you will go unnoticed while the eyes of the great are elsewhere. Blessed are the powerless, for the corruptions of power will tempt you less. Blessed are the unlearned, for you will not trust your own wisdom... >>

Here is Psalm 119, paraphrased in 22 separate 14-line sonnets (iambic pentameter FTW!). In the original, each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet; I've attempted the same, though direct equivalents don't always exist. Anyway, good luck!
