About me I am an anaesthetist from Pretoria.
Verti me ad aliud et vidi sub sole
nec velocium esse cursum
nec fortium bellum
nec sapientium panem
nec doctorum divitias
nec prudentium gratiam
sed tempus casumque in omnibus.
Moððe word fræt. Me þæt puhte
wrætlicu wyrd, Þa ic pæt wundor gefrægn,
pæt se wyrm forswealg wera gied sumes,
Þeof in Þystro, Þrymfaeste cwide
Ond Þaes strangan staÞhol. Stælgiest ne wæs
Wihte þy gleawra, þe hem wordum swaelg.

Ecclesiastes 9:11
I turned me to another thing, and I saw that under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the learned, nor favour to the skillful: but time and chance in all.
Riddle 47 from the Exeter Book:
A creature ate words. I thought that was a marvelous fate, that it, a thief in the dark, should eat a man's words, his brilliant language and its sturdy foundation. Not a whit the wiser was he for having fattened himself on those words.
Answer: bookworm or moth
Ok, that wasn't so hard (thank you, Google!) Very nice quotes, and an interesting library.
My turn: guess who I am? Hint: there aren't that many anaesthetists from Pretoria
