advice is something the wise don't need and the fools won't take all great minds run in the same channel all men are fools, but the wisest of fools are called philosophers better an empty purse than an empty head a big head means a big headache bought wisdom is best if you don't pay too dear for it entertain no thoughts which you would blush at in words the doors of wisdom are never shut a flow of words is no proof of wisdom the fool wonders; the wise man asks go where he will, a wise man is always at home happy is the man who finds wisdom and gets understanding he who questions nothing learns nothing high living, low thinking if what men most admire they would despise, it would look like mankind were growing wise it is easy to be wise after the event it needs great wisdom to play the fool little hair, much wit know thyself knowledge and wisdom are far from being one men talk wisely but live foolishly nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time no man can be always wise no man is born wise or learned one good head is better than a thousand strong hands one hears only what he understands popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world riches serve a wise man but command a fool so many men, so many minds speech is the gift of all but the thought of few a still tongue makes a wise head two heads are better than one where all think alike, no one thinks very much where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise wisdom doesn't always speak in Greek and Latin wisdom goes not always by years wisdom in a poor man is a diamond set in lead wisdom is ever a blessing, education is sometimes a curse wisdom is the wealth of the wise a wise man changes his mind; a fool never does a wise man is strong a wise man will make more opportunities than he finds a wise man's day is worth a fool's life wise men care not for what they cannot have wise men learn by other men's mistakes; fools insist on learning by their own a word to the wise words are the wise man's counters and the fool's moneyEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _розум; мудрість; думка

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
