Think of the Russian equivalents to these English proverbs

Actions speak louder than words.
All cats are grey in the dark.
Every seed knows its time.
As you make your bed, so you must lie on it.
Barking dogs seldom bite.
Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow.
A bird may be known by its song.
Birds of a feather flock together.
A cat in gloves catches no mice.
A closed mouth catches no flies.

And in every deed!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness, glad of other men's good, content with my harm.
"As you like it".

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

Just think about it!

Americans no longer believe in the power of Fate, and they have come to look at people who do as being backward, primitive, or hopelessly naive. To be called "fantastic" is one of the worst criticism one can receive in the American context, to an American, it means one is superstitious and lazy, unwilling to take any initiative in bringing about improvement. (By Robert Kolhs)
