Sadly, there are no quotes from the Sagas in this anthology. (sorry, I've been entering my "Myth" books by Asprin lately.) Other than that it's a fine book to crib from when the well runs dry.

The editors begin with an opening essay which provides their rigorous definition of aphorisms (as distinct, say, from epigrams) then include only selections which meet that definition. This is an excellent compilation of pithy, thought-provoking prose which rewards close attention.
