3 _розум; мудрість; думка
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

4 _слово; сила слова
actions speak louder than words better ask, than go astray better the foot slip than the tongue better one word in time than two afterwards brevity is the soul of wit by work you get money, by talk you get knowledge easier said than done empty vessels make the greatest sound fine words butter no parsnips fine words dress ill deeds first think, then speak a flow of words is no proof of wisdom a fool is known by his conversation a good tongue is a good weapon a good word costs no more than a bad one great barkers are no biters great cry and little wool a great talker may be no fool, but he is one that relies on him great talkers are like broken pitchers: everything runs out of them great talkers are little doers hard words break no bones he that talks much errs much he that talks much lies much he who says little may be a fool or a genius he who says what he likes shall hear what he does not like hear much, speak little hold your tongue an honest man's word is as good as his bond if your swear you will catch no fish immodest words are in all cases indefensible it is not with saying "honey, honey" that sweetness comes into the mouth a kind word goes a long way least said, soonest mended let not your tongue cut your throat a man never becomes an orator if he has anything to say a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds many speak much who cannot speak well many a truth is spoken is jest more have repented speech than silence much ado about nothing never answer a question until it is asked no sooner said than done one tongue is enough for two women out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks pleasant words are valued but do not cost much the pen is mightier than the sword pigs grunt about everything and nothing say little but think more say little; write less; print least silly question, silly answer speak of angels and they flap their wings speak when you are spoken to; come when you are called speech is silver(n), silence is golden speech is the gift of all but the thought of few speech was given a man to conceal his thoughts a still tongue makes a wise head ten measures of talk were sent down from heaven, and women took nine it is not every question that deserves an answer the tongue always returns to the sore tooth the tongue is not steel but it cuts the tongue is the only tool that grows sharper with use an unkind word is better left unspoken what is writ is writ a woman fights with her tongue a woman's hair is long, but her tongue is longer a word before is worth two behind a word spoken is past recalling a word to the wise is sufficient words and deeds are not weighed in the same balance words are but wind words are the wise man's counters and the fool's money words cut more than swords words pay no debts the worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise wounds made by words are hard to heal you are master of the unspoken word; the spoken word is master of youEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _слово; сила слова
