2 _сила та слабкість; велике та мале
all great minds run in the same channel better to be a big toad in a small puddle than a small toad in a big puddle burn not your house to rid of the mouse conceit is nature's gift to small men to make up for that which they don't have every great man is unique every oak has been an acorn for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the man was lost grain by grain, and the hen fills her belly a great ship asks deep waters great men are not always wise the greatest crabs be not all the best heavy burdens kill little people, but they make great ones he that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities an inch is as good as an ell the Iamb who bites a wolf never bites again little boats should stay close to shore little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune, but great minds rise above it a little body often harbours a great soul little things worry little minds many a little makes a mickle a mouse may help a lion none thinks the great unhappy oaks may fall when reeds stand the storm one man's weakness is another man's chance one swallow does not make a summer a small leak will sink a great ship there are no small steps in great affairs there is safety in numbers trifles lead to serious matters trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle union is strength the weakest goes to the wallEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _сила та слабкість; велике та мале
