Even a man who knows nothing
knows that many are fooled by money;
one man is rich, another is not rich,
he should not be blamed for that.
Cattle die, kinsmen die,
the self must also die;
but glory never dies,
for the man who is able to achieve it.
Cattle die, kinsmen die,
the self must also die;
I know one thing which never dies:
the reputation of each dead man.
knows that many are fooled by money;
one man is rich, another is not rich,
he should not be blamed for that.
Cattle die, kinsmen die,
the self must also die;
but glory never dies,
for the man who is able to achieve it.
Cattle die, kinsmen die,
the self must also die;
I know one thing which never dies:
the reputation of each dead man.
HAVAMAL - Verses 74-76
