Famous Viking Quotes and Proverbs

The unwise man
is awake all night
worries over and again.
When morning rises
he is restless still,
his burden as before.

- The Havamal

It is fortunate
to be favored
with praise and popularity.
It is dire luck
to be dependent
on the feelings of your fellow man.

- The Havamal

Growl not at guests
nor drive them from the gate
but show thyself gentle to the poor.
