can someone translate into elvish...

Can someone translate "not all those that wander are lost" into elvish for me? Pref. sindarin.

If anyone has a source of elvish quotes from the books, please share.

I want to get a wristband tattoo with that and this dragon

curling around my wrist.

The dragon's wings will go up the tendons on the center underside of my wrist, and the tail will curl around the knobby bone on the top-side of my wrist. The elvish will go around the rest of my wrist.

I am not sure about pronunciation. Can someone translate "Law pain i reviar mistar aen" into sindarin tengwar?

Hmm...well, I'm assuming that there's no dipthongs in Sindar...so...I can draw out the Tengwar, and post a link to the picture here. Give me a bit, maybe a day or so...

I don't know if this will help or not:

Pronunciation: ('ae' is like the 'i' in 'mine' or 'fine' and has the same sound as 'eye.' 'Ch' is pronounced like it is in "Bach" not 'church')
