One cannot scoop up the ocean with a sea shell.
One moment of intense happiness prolongs life by a thousand years.
If you want a well, only dig in one place.
One muddy buffalo makes the whole herd dirty.
One who sits by the well will never go thirsty.
You cannot dance well on only one leg.
One goat cannot carry another goat's tail.
A cross-eyed Tsar, one-eyed ministers, blind subjects.
A thousand friends are few; one enemy is too many.
One son is no son, two sons is no son, but three sons is a son.
One who seeks no friends is his own enemy.
Thanks to one small candle the whole of Moscow burns.
What comes out of one mouth goes into a hundred others.
You cannot hide the sun with one hand.
A rich man's wooing need seldom be a long one.
Better to be a cuckold and not know it than to not be one and everybody say so.
Like a fish, one should look for a hole in the net.
Marriage is a sack full of ninety-nine snakes and one eel.
Two cannot fall out if one does not choose.
Watch out for a bad woman and never trust a good one.
If you close one eye, you will not hear everything.
