If a dead tree falls, it carries with it a live one.
One finger alone cannot even kill a louse.
A dirty soul can be cleansed when one speaks.
Light griefs can speak, but deeper ones are dumb.
Your wife and your wheelbarrow -- lend them to no one.
One does not give a gift without a motive.
One must talk little, and listen a lot.
One cry of "Thief!" and the whole marketplace is on the lookout.
With a bottle and a girl one does not count the hours.
Sweet are the tears that are dried by your loved one.
Money is like down -- one puff and it's gone.
No one is hanged who has money in his pocket.
One does not look for good when he is well.
The Tsar has three hands but only one ear.
You cannot build a wall with one stone.
A good guitarist will play on one string.
A hundred aunts is not the same as one mother.
In the ocean, one does not need to sow water.
It takes two to quarrel, but only one to end it.
He who talks to a mule is one himself.
No revenge is more honorable than the one not taken.
