Odin (from Hávamál)

Odin (Norse god)

“Seldom does the loafing wolf snatch the ham,
nor a sleeping man victory.”

  • This quote comes from stanza 58 of Hávamál (Sayings of the High One), an old poem which was preserved in the 13th-century Poetic Edda which was produced anonymously in Iceland. The translation is by Carolyne Larrington (Oxford University Press, 2014).
