Words of Odin
As a child I discovered the Norse Sagas and the Eddas. They started me on the path, I still love them. The wisdom below, a suggestion from the Allfather....
Praise day at even, a wife when dead,
a weapon when tried, a maid when married,
ice when 'tis crossed, and ale when 'tis drunk.
(from the Eddas)
