Mocking is catching.
You don't learn anything from buying, but you do from selling.
Habit is a shirt that we wear till death.
Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are.
The past is for god, the future for the tsars.
Make yourself a sheep and the wolf is ready.
Beat your own and others will fear you.
Even in the ashes there will be a few sparks.
All are not cooks who walk with long knives.
Poverty is not a sin, it's worse than that.
The morning is wiser than the evening.
Never kiss an opportunity with a dirty mouth.
No one is hanged who has money in his pocket.
One good daughter is worth seven sons.
The sythe ran into a stone.
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
You do not need a whip to urge on an obedient horse.
You cannot write in the chimney with charcoal.
You cannot ride two horses with one ass.
You cannot pull a fish out of the pond without work.
You cannot drive straight on a twisting lane.
You cannot buy wisdom abroad if there is none at home.
You cannot break through a wall with your forehead.
You can't sew buttons on your neighbor's mouth.
You can't keep a word of thanks in your pocket.
You can't drive straight on a twisting lane.
You can best shoot an eagle with an arrow made from its own feathers.
Work makes you into a hunchback and then rich.
Women can do everything; men can do the rest.
Without the shepherd, sheep are not a flock.
