A foolish man, who among people comes, had best be silent; for no one knows that he knows nothing, unless he talks too much. He who previously knew nothing will still know nothing, talk he ever so much.

Ósviðr maðr vakir um allar nætr ok hyggr at hvívetna. Þá er móðr er at morni kömr, allt er víl sem var.

'A foolish man lies awake all night and worries over everything. He is tired when the morning comes, yet all his problems remain.'
