Это мне сейчас в голову пришло. - Может, они порядочные люди, - сказал Рагозин успокаиваясь, - я не знаю. Но уж тут - семь раз отмерь, один отрежь. (К. Федин, Первые радости) — 'Did you give them a leaflet?' 'No, it only came into my head this minute.' 'Of course they may be decent people,' Ragozin said, in a quieter tone, 'I can't say without knowing them. But in a case like this you've got to look before you leap.'
- Говорят, семь раз отмерь, один отрежь, недаром говорят. Надо бы и Захару Тарасовичу крепенько подумать, мало ли кто не оступается, важно вовремя из колдобины вышагнуть на ровную дорогу. (П. Проскурин, Судьба) — 'You know the saying, make sure of the measurements seven times before cutting the cloth once, and it's a wise saying. Zakhar Tarasovich should have thought hard, many people can stumble, it's important to step out of a pothole onto even ground at the right time.'
