10 Mahomet must go to the mountain
Магомет идёт к горе, человек должен уметь покоряться неизбежному [часть пословицы if the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain; см. if the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain]Dissembling his chagrin as best he could, he kept on the lookout for Cowperwood at both of the clubs of which he was a member; but Cowperwood had avoided them during the period of excitement, and Mahomet would have to go to the mountain. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. XIII) — Стараясь по возможности скрыть свою досаду, Шрайхарт искал случая встретиться с Каупервудом в одном из клубов, но Каупервуд, выжидая, пока уляжется шум, намеренно там не показывался, и поскольку гора не шла к Магомету, то Магомету пришлось идти к горе.
