2 палка о двух концах
lit. a stick of two ends; it cuts both ways; it has two ways and hits either way; it is a two-edged weapon- Но ведь психология, господа, хоть и глубокая вещь, а всё-таки похожа на палку о двух концах. (Ф. Достоевский, Братья Карамазовы) — 'But profound as psychology is, it's a knife that cuts both ways.'
Не всегда можно быть сильным, опираясь на живые массы. Массы - палка о двух концах: можно быть и вождём масс, а можно превратиться в жертву, в раба и демагога. (Ф. Гладков, Цемент) — One is not always a strong man when one seeks the support of the broad masses. The masses are like a stick with two ends: one can be their leader, but also one can be their victim, their slave and demagogue.
