You're welcome... the Sagas were told in the Old style of oral story telling by the Skalds, the Norse equivalent of the Celtic Bard, before being written down by Christian Monks... in case you didn't know... ;) |

Lao Tzu in the Hua Hu Ching: Fifty-one Those who want to know the truth of the universe should practice the four cardinal virtues. The first is reverence for all life; this manifests as unconditional love and respect for oneself and all other beings. The second is natural sincerity; this manifests as honesty, simplicity, and faithfulness. The third is gentleness; this manifests as kindness, consideration for others, and sensitivity to spiritual truth. The fourth is supportiveness; this manifests as service to others without expectation of reward. |

Very cool... I've always wanted to learn Swedish, but way back in high school the only European languages offered were French and German... still think about it off and on, but the computer based learning programs are a bit expensive... more than I can really afford anyway... |
