From year to year we pass on all our knowledge to the new generation different ways: someone does this in writing - recording it on paper, someone on an audio recorder - recording their thoughts with a microphone, someone in electronic form, and someone on video media - leaving a piece of themselves. But before all these opportunities did not exist; they could only pass on experience to the next generation orally - in words. But to this day, messages from our ancestors reach us in the form of rituals, fairy tales that were read to our parents, and they, in turn, to us, in the form of songs, or in the form of sayings and proverbs.

What do we know about proverbs and sayings? Some people think they are the same thing, but they are wrong! A proverb is a short folk judgment with instructive content, and a saying is a short expression, mainly has a figurative meaning and does not have a complete statement. If you want to know more about what this or that proverb says, you can ask for translations of proverbs on the site where all the proverbs of the peoples of the world are collected.

In our lives there is love and friendship, honesty and loyalty, and each of this group and others has its own reflective proverbs. What meaning do they convey in speech, what is their peculiarity in use? Each proverb or saying carries some thought for the speaker:

They will characterize some natural phenomenon, you as a person, your actions, the state of your soul or body, an object, etc.;
Reveal the relationship between people;
They give advice or guidance on how best to act in your situation, or warn;
They generalize the properties of a person or a phenomenon, evaluate actions, prescribe actions;
They are not a designation of any selected elements; they are used based on a specific situation and are associated in general pattern, which they actually express.

Proverbs and sayings can be said to serve as a means that characterizes a person, conveying his feelings, thoughts and connection with the public. They are often used when trying to compare, confirm, prove or convince.

Proverbs and sayings are still used today, and it seems to me that our generation will also use them in their statements, because they decorate speech so elegantly. We can talk a lot about them, because they are the beauty of our language, the erudition and intelligence of the speaker, how can we do without them. Their correct use reflects in us our upbringing, literacy, culture and education.

1. LIKE A ROPE NOT TO CURVE, BUT THERE IS AN END.
There are so many intricacies, slander, gossip, lies and evil.
But there is always a crown to everything, an evil rope has its end.

2. DO NOT SPIT IN THE WELL - YOU WILL NEED TO DRINK WATER.
This wisdom comes to us late.
When we spat we were careless.
What if it happens - we want to get drunk,
Lo and behold, the well has already become muddy...

3. NOT EVERYTHING IS MASLENITSA
This cat lived well.
He ate sour cream without closing his mouth.
Now he looks out the window with longing.
All because he saw the bottom of the plate.

4. THE WORD IS SILVER, SILENCE IS GOLD.
Silence was a sign of intelligence and sometimes
The tongue helped the owner save a lot of gold,
And others had so many words flying off their tongues,
About what happened, where and how,
I just wanted to say: shut up, fool.

5. CHOOSE THE LESSER OF TWO Evils.
How often do we face a choice?
That by choosing less, we will outwit evil.
But the choice is made - lucky,
And evil, even less, remains only evil.

6. WHAT'S ON THE SOBRIELD'S MIND IS ON THE TONGUE OF THE DRUNK.
A sober mind becomes silent when a chattering tongue drinks.

7. ALL'S GOOD THAT ENDS WELL.
Even though it’s bad, it all starts hard
And it continues just as bad,
That alone is good
That everything comes to an end someday.

8. THE END IS THE CROWN OF THE CASE.
When business, love, and life
Our merciless end is coming,
Shall we really call it the crown?

9. GET OUT OF THE WATER DRY
It’s not easy to get out of the water unscathed:
You just have to be a scoundrel.

10. FEAR HAS GREAT EYES.
Fear not only expands the mind,
He is sometimes the executioner of hope.

11. WHEN CANCER WHISTLES ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Cancer will never whistle, that’s the whole problem.

12. SIT BETWEEN TWO CHAIRS.
If you want everything at once, isn’t it better to kill the infection?

13. THERE IS NO WAY WITHOUT GOOD.
If bad is the continuation of good,
Even good must be a continuation of evil.
That's why you can do good,
But only very carefully.

14. THE LAW IS NOT WRITTEN FOR FOOLS.
Ah, fools! The most beautiful tribe!
Any time is good for you
And laws of all stripes are not for you.
And there are no happier people on earth.
You fools are the most beautiful people,
Smart people bring you gifts on a platter.

15. KEEP YOUR SHIRT CLOSER TO YOUR BODY.
The theory is simple and everyone knows: it’s easier to be a miser
What a kind and open person.

16. NOT WORTH A PENNY.
How much do you need to know in life?
To consider it so unconditionally.

17. LIVING WITH WOLVES IS HOWLING LIKE A WOLF.
If you don't know how to howl like a wolf,
There will be no sense in this flock.
And if you don’t want to howl like a wolf,
Isn't it better to live alone without a flock?

18. BETTER A TIT IN YOUR HANDS THAN A CRANE IN THE SKY.
The little tit beats between the palms,
And my heart is sad because the crane flew into the sky
And he won't return...

19. IT ENTERED ONE EAR, OUT THE OTHER.
Ears, it’s not your fault that your head is stuffed with cotton!

20. AND THE WOLVES ARE FED, AND THE SHEEP ARE SAFE.
How can you manage to do this?
You cannot give something to someone and you cannot take it away from someone else.

21. YOU CAN’T KEEP AN AWL IN A BAG.
I really want to hide unseemly deeds,
They are torn through the years.

Proverbs and sayings - it seems like something from deep childhood, from a colorful reading textbook for junior school. And, at the same time, they remind you of themselves every day, even if no one says them. Because they are life itself, its reflection. If you want, “formulas” of life that explain: if you do this, it will be like this, but this happened for some reason... After all, in the proverbs - folk wisdom. The experience of generations, independent of the historical era, fashion, political and economic situation. The only thing this experience depends on is time, which enriches and fills it.

What is the difference between a proverb and a saying?

A storehouse of experience and wisdom in pure form You can call it proverbs. This is a short saying, instructive in spirit and having a complete meaning. For example: “you can’t catch a fish out of a pond without difficulty.”

A saying is something else. Rather, it is simply a stable combination expressing some thought, concept instead of some word, or denoting a frequently repeated, recognizable phenomenon: “like two peas in a pod,” “out of the blue,” “neither thought nor guessed, I can’t describe it with a pen”...

This is how it was originally, this is how the most ancient proverbs and sayings appeared. After all, there were times when even books were a huge rarity, and all a person had was his own mind and speech.

Then, when literature, the press, even television spread, the storehouse of wisdom began to be replenished with “author’s” proverbs and sayings - catchphrases heroes of favorite films, well-aimed phrases in book texts... But the meaning of proverbs and sayings in our lives remains the same: a hint at a crossroads, consolation in trouble, a reminder of what we must not forget...
