1 not the only pebble on the beach
≈ на этом (на нём, на ней и т. д.) свет клином не сошёлсяBoanerges: "...Though as an old Republican I have no respect for the Majesty as a King, I have a great respect for him as a Strong Man. But he is not the only pebble on the beach. Why not have done with this superstition of monarchy, and bring the British Commonwealth into line with all the other great Powers today as a republic?" (B. Shaw, ‘The Apple Cart’, act II) — Бонерджес: "...Хотя, как старый республиканец, я не испытываю уважения к его величеству как к королю, я уважаю его как сильного человека. Но он не единственный кандидат в диктаторы. Почему бы нам не разделаться с монархическими предрассудками и не привести Британскую империю в соответствие со всеми остальными великими державами, то есть учредить республиканский образ правления?"
He often forgot that she was Egyptian, and he ought to be reminded occasionally that the English weren't the only pebbles on the beach. (J. Aldridge, ‘The Last Exile’, ch. XLIX) — Джолли часто забывал, что Элен тоже египтянка, и время от времени приходилось ему напоминать, что на англичанах свет клином не сошелся.
That she was only a kid... Not old enough to realize she wasn't the only pebble on the beach. (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting at War’, ch. XIII) — Жюли просто девчонка... Сосунок, а воображает, что кроме нее нет девушек на свете.
