Manndáð meiri getr eigi fyrir mold ofan,
en kenna góð ráð gum*um;
ódyggt líf mundu ýtar hafa,
ef bætti engi yfir.
Getr eigi meiri manndáð fyrir mold ofan en kenna gum*um góð ráð; ýtar mundu hafa ódyggt líf, ef engi bætti yfir.
There is no greater act of prowess on earth than to teach men good advice; people would have a worthless life if nobody were to improve it.
