THE NORSE WISDOM

There lies less good than most believe
In ale for mortal man.

A man knows nothing if he knows not
That wealth oft begets an ape.

A coward thinks he will live forever
If only he can shun warfare.

Tell one your thoughts, but beware of two.
All know what is known to three.

A silly man lies awake all night,
Thinking of many things.
When the mourning comes he is worn with care,
And his trouble is just as it was.

A paltry man and poor mind
Is he who mocks at all things.

Brave men can live well anywhere.
A coward dreads all things.

I once was young and traveled alone.
I met another and thought myself rich.
Man is the joy of man.
Be a friend to your friend.
Give him laughter for laughter.

To a good friend's house
The path is straight
Though he is far away.

In a maiden's words let no man place faith,
Nor in what a woman says.
But I know men and women both
Men's mind are unstable toward women.

None so good that he has no faults,
None so wicked that he is worth naught.

Moderately wise each one should be,
Not over wise, for a wise man's heart
Is seldom glad.

Cattle die and kindred die. We also die.
But I know one thing that never dies,
Judgment on each one dead.

The mind knows only
What lies near the heart.
