  • 45 заставь дурака богу молиться, он и лоб разобьёт

    заставь дурака богу молиться, он и лоб разобьёт (расшибёт)
    посл.
    cf. give a fool rope enough, and he will hang himself; he would throw out the child along with the bath; he will make a mess of tying his bootlaces; over-zeal will damage the cause

    Круглова. Эти головы меры не знают: либо он молчит,... либо того натворит, что с ним наплачешься. Пословица-то эта про них говорится: заставь дурака богу молиться, так он себе лоб разобьёт. (А. Островский, Не всё коту масленица) — Kruglova: People like him do not know the right measure: he either keeps mum... or makes such a mess that you get plenty of trouble. Give a fool rope enough, and he will hang himself, as the proverb goes.

    Вдруг она [машина] судорожно дёрнулась, разбила бампером перед собой лёд, ухнула с фарами и затихла, достигнув дна. - Что и требовалось доказать, - сказал Локтев. - Заставь дурака богу молиться... (В. Мурзаков, Мы уже ходим, мама...) — Then it shuddered convulsively, the bumper broke the ice ahead, the headlights disappeared into the water and the engine stalled as the wheels reached the bottom. 'And serves you bloody well right,' said Loktiev. 'Some people will make a mess of tying their bootlaces.'
