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.
Events follow one another like the days of the week.
Every one is innocent until he is proved guilty.
No one can pray well, but those who live well.
No one with a good catch of fish goes home by the back alley.
Listen with both ears, but speak with only one tongue.
One arrow does not bring down two birds.
One hour of justice is worth seventy hours of prayer.
