and see to his work himself;
who sleeps at morning is hindered much,
to the keen is wealth half-won.”

by him who ne'er holds his peace;
the hasty tongue sings its own mishap
if it be not bridled in.”
― Hávamál

“A coward believes he will ever live
if he keeps himself safe from strife:
but old age leaves him not long in peace
though spears may spare his life.”
― Hávamál

“Less good than they say for the sons of men
is the drinking oft of ale:
for the more they drink, the less can they think
and keep a watch o'er their wits.”
