1 many kinsfolk, few friends
багато родичів, мало друзів ≅ своїх багато, а як прийдеться топиться, то ні за кого й ухопиться! рідня – серед дня, а як сонце сховається, то й не родичається рідня до півдня, а як сонце зайде, сам чорт нікого не знайде рід великий, а пообідати ніде як до такого роду, то краще з моста в воду хоч свій, та гірше чужогоEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > many kinsfolk, few friends

better a neighbor near than a brother far be better to your neighbors and you will have better neighbors God gives relatives; thank God we can choose our friends a good friend is better than a hundred relatives the hatred of the nearest relatives is the most bitter if you want to do good business, do it with strangers, not your relatives if you want to hear the whole truth about yourself, anger your neighbor love your neighbor as yourself love your neighbor, but do not pull down the fence many kinsfolk, few friends no man can live at peace unless his neighbor lets him no one can love his neighbor on an empty stomach a quarrelsome man has no good neighbors a rich man never lacks relatives what a neighbour gets is not lost
