Your thoughts on the Havamal? (Sayings of the high one.)?

22.

He's a wretched man, of an evil disposition.

the one who makes fun of everything;

he doesn't know the one thing he ought to know:

that he himself is not devoid of faults.

27.

The foolish man in Company

does best if he stays silent;

no one will know that he knows nothing,

unless he talks too much;

but the man who knows nothing does not know

when he is talking to much.

29.

Quite enough senseless words are spoken

by the man never silent;

a quick tongue, unless its owner keeps watch on it,

often talks itself into trouble.
