Tietoja minusta I have enjoyed this bit of old Irish advice for many years. It expresses one ideal set of traits that I like.

--------------------------------
"O Cormac, grandson of Conn", said Carbery, "What were your habits when you were a lad?"

"Not hard to tell", said Cormac.

I was a listener in woods
I was a gazer at stars
I was blind where secrets were concerned
I was silent in a wilderness
I was talkative among many
I was mild in the mead-hall
I was stern in battle
I was gentle towards allies
I was a physician of the sick
I was weak towards the feeble
I was strong towards the powerful
I was not close lest I should be burdensome
I was not arrogant though I was wise
I was not given to promising though I was strong
I was not venturesome though I was swift
I did not deride the old though I was young
I was not boastful though I was a good fighter
I would not speak about any one in his absence
I would not reproach, but I would praise
I would not ask, but I would give
For it is through these habits that the young become old and kingly warriors."

I recently added my Flickr account to my 'Also On' area here since my LibraryThing profile is the closest I want to be to having a homepage. You can even find a few pics of myself in the mix if you go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/an_fear_gla...

Present status:

2007.December.10 - Updating with more texts as soon as the LT development team finishes adding two planned features to the site.

Tags for books are still rather few here. The vast majority of my collection only has placeholder tags to remind me to do it later... so browsing the collection by that method will not provide a lot of results. Searching by key words is more useful at the present time.

I will be adding more of my religion, history, and fiction books into the list next. Right now it looks oddly heavy with my military science and natural sciences collections.

I have been helping out with translating LibraryThing into other languages. If you want to do the same, go here:
