128 more honoured in the breach than the observance
чаще нарушается, чем соблюдается (об обычае, законе и т. п.) [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Horatio: "Is it a custom?" Hamlet: "Ay, marry, is 't: But to my mind, - though I am native here, And to the manner born, - it is a custom More honoured in the breach than the observance. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act I, sc. 4.) — Горацио: "Таков обычай?" Гамлет: "Да, есть такой; По мне, однако - хоть я здесь родился И свыкся с нравами, - обычай этот Похвальнее нарушить, чем блюсти." (перевод М. Лозинского)
