This one should be easy:
My beautiful rope. However, associated with a stamp, it has been placed on the lower side

Well, one of Edward I's nicknames (apart from" treacherous murdering rapacious piece of crap") was "Longshanks". I thought if somebody came across this word, it might trigger the memory.

Hasn't anyone guessed Alatar's quote yet? I knew it right away, but I'm going to pass since I had the last one.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
All right. I was going to leave it for someone else, but since no one else has guessed, I'll guess that it is Frodo to Sam:
"My beautiful rope! There it is tied to a stump, and we’re at the bottom."

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
It's funny that "stump" got changed to "stamp".
This should be easy enough.
Lost all the money wandering in all its splendor. At that time, the strong deep frost. The shadow of the ash fire light spring and the awakening. You will need to update to the latest: the uncrowned king of once again must be.

Bilbo reciting the poem that is a description of Aragorn:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Sam?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

It's Sam - Frelga got that right.
As the quote indicates he's talking about feeling like spring.

Is it in Rivendell, when Frodo asks how Sam likes Elves?

Is it when he wakes up in the Houses of Healing, and someone asks him how he feels?
"I feel like spring after winter, and sun on the leaves; and like trumpets and harps and all the songs I have ever heard!"
