Never laugh at live dragons?

[alfiesgirl]

Which famous author wrote "Never laugh at live dragons" and in which book?

I know that i have read this somewhere but cannot remember where or who wrote it, maybe if i knew one of them then the other i would remember!

The Hobbit
3 Sep 2009 ... Bilbo: “Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!” he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his
