посл."не разбив яйца, яичницы не сделаешь"; ≈ не разгрызёшь ореха, не съешь и ядра [этим. фр. on ne fait pas d'omelette sans casser des œufs]No one abhors violence more than I do. Still you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs... (S. Lewis, ‘It can't Happen Here’, ch. 24) — Никто не питает большего отвращения к насилию, чем я. Но нельзя сделать яичницу, не разбив яиц...

(L. P. Hartley, ‘The Hireling’, ch. XIX) — Она будет очень расстроена, наверное, даже поплачет... Ну что ж, лес рубят - щепки летят. Лучше поплакать, чем выходить замуж за человека, который на ваши деньги содержит другую женщину.
