Default Please; best choice for a quote option on iPod?

I'm ordering an iPod Touch 6 - they are finally released! I've loved and used my Touch 4 for 6+ years; all the apps, programs, and info make my daily life so much easier. It's time for the upgrade.

I'm having the custom engraving added. I will have my name on Line 1, and want to use a J.R.R. Tolkien quote on the second line. It is:

Not all those who wander are lost.

The quote is one character too long. My choices...

(1) Leave out the word "those" and keep the period at the end. It would be...

Not all who wander are lost.

Or...

(2) Leave off the period and have an unpunctuated quote in its original form...

Not all those who wander are lost

Having the original words is very important to me; proper punctuation is very important to me.

Which would you choose? Which would Tolkein choose? Oh the things I worry about...
