2 _таємниці; секрети
a hare is not caught with a drum he that peeps through a hole may see what will vex him hidden life, happy life if it is a secret, don't tell it to a woman if you reveal your secret, you yield your liberty listeners never hear any good of themselves none are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them the only secret a woman can keep is her age a secret shared is no secret tell everybody your business and the devil will do it for you tell a woman and you tell the world tell your secret to your servant and you make him your master three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead walls have ears when three know it, all know itEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _таємниці; секрети
