61 a prophet is not without honour, save in his own country
не славен пророк в отечестве своём, нет пророка в своём отечестве [этим. библ. Matthew XIII, 57]In Florence the signory thought him an amusing fellow and his letters often made them laugh, but they had no great confidence in his judgment and never followed his advice. ‘A prophet is not without honour save in his own country,’ he sighed. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Then and Now’, ch. XXX) — Члены синьории Флоренции считали Макиавелли острословом, чьи письма они не раз читали, покатываясь со смеху. Но они не очень доверяли его мнению и никогда не следовали его советам. "Нет пророка в своем отечестве", - вздыхая, говорил Макиавелли.
