    Default Quotes?

    Is the team looking for any quotes for TLK? Here's one if you want it, might be a bit long with the translation;

    Is acher ingaith innocht
    fufuasan fairggae findfolt
    ni agor reimm mora minn
    dondlaechraid lainn ua
    lothlind.

    The wind is rough tonight
    tossing the white combed ocean.
    I need not dread fierce Vikings
    crossing the Irish Sea.
    Were there but a tree in this godforsaken place i would have hanged myself.

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

    "If you wish to gain possession of England, then I may bring it about that most of the chieftains in England will be on your side and support you". -Tostig Godwinson to his brother King Harald Godwinson of Enland.

    "Six feet of ground or as much more as he needs, as he is taller than most men". - Harold Godwinson to his brother Tostig to turn against Harald Hardrada

    "Although we do not know the truth of these, we know, however, of occasions when wise old men have reckoned such things as true." - Snorri Sturlusson, author of saga Heimskringla

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_III_of_Norway

    + some viking quotes and other proverbs


    Always rise
    to an early meal,
    but eat your fill before a feast.
    If you're hungry
    you have no time
    to talk at the table.

    - The Havamal
    Never walk
    away from home
    ahead of your axe and sword.
    You can't feel a battle
    in your bones
    or foresee a fight.

    - The Havamal
    Moderately wise
    a man should be
    not too crafty or clever.
    A learned man's heart
    whose learning is deep
    seldom sings with joy.

    - The Havamal
    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
    Wake early
    if you want
    another man's life or land.
    No lamb
    for the lazy wolf.
    No battle's won in bed.

    - The Havamal
    Go you must.
    No guest shall stay
    in one place for ever.
    Love will be lost
    if you sit too long
    at a friend's fire.

    - The Havamal
    Be your friend's
    true friend.
    Return gift for gift.
    Repay laughter
    with laughter again
    but betrayal with treachery.

    - The Havamal
    Cattle die
    kinsmen die
    all men are mortal.
    Words of praise
    will never perish
    nor a noble name.

    - The Havamal

    Yes the author is very important to know because of the autency. Some more that i did find:

    --"They miserably ravaged and pillaged everything; they trod the holy things under their polluted feet, they dug down the altars, and plundered all the treasures of the church. Some of the brethren they slew, some they carried off with them in chains"--

    -Simeon of Durham, A History of the Church of Durham
     
    "In this year terrible portents appeared over Northumbria and sadly affrightened the inhabitants: there were exceptional flashes of lightning, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the air. A great famine followed soon upon these signs, and a little after that in the same year on the ides of June the harrying of the heathen miserably destroyed God's church in Lindisfarne by rapine and slaughter."

    -Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, AD 793


    As blood beat on helms,
    so did blades on breastplates:
    the bow of Agder’s prince
    was bravely bent.
    On shields the arrow-storm
    spattered; as men fell,
    deftly the lord of Hordar
    dealt the Earl’s death-blow.

    -The Orkneyinga Saga , written around 1200 AD

    "Speak not of killing; I but blunt the horns of the offspring of Wales lest they should injure their dam." -

    I'm afraid this quote is attributed quite correctly. It is Tostig, but said to Harald Hardrada and not Harold Godwinson.

    Exactly my bad, got confused by the name Harold and Harald. It is said by Tostig to Harald Hardrada indeed.
