6 one swallow does not make a summer
посл.≈ одна ласточка весны не делаетIt's no good my saying one swallow doesn't make a summer; he doesn't see that it was just a fluke, he thinks the whole thing was due to his own cleverness. It may ruin him. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Facts of Life’) — Какой смысл говорить Нику, что одна ласточка весны не делает. Он ведь не понимает, что выиграл в рулетку по счастливой случайности. Он уверен, что выиграл потому, что искусно играл, и это может погубить его.
