If the bush were not cute, the nightingale would not build a nest
Rook - spring bird
The tree is planted soon, but not soon the fruits from it are eaten
For the city, every tree is precious
The sandpiper is small, but still a bird
The lily does not grow on the rosehip bush
A good dog does not bark at the wind
The aspen makes noise even without the wind
Cat on the stove, dog on the porch
Old dog, may he serve faithfully
The titmouse is small, but its claw is sharp
Know a falcon by its flight, and an owl by its rise
The nightingale is a small bird, but when it sings, the forest trembles
And there is a hollow in the pine tree
The burdock does not grow higher than the ash tree, the rooster does not fly higher than the hawk.
Seasons.
In August the sun is warm and the water is cold
Where there is a river in April, there is a puddle in July
As is the age, so is the man
April with water, and May with grass
In March, the chicken under the threshold will get drunk
October will cover the earth - some with leaves, some with snow.
Natural phenomena.
The wind will not knock down the oak grove
A thunderstorm hits a tall tree
The rain will come - the sun will rise
Well, it's frosty - nails out
From a big cloud, but a small drop
We adults often say this phrase to children: “What do you understand in life? You'll grow up..."
I also thought that a child of 2 or 3 years old does not think at all about what life is. But my grandson, when he was 2.5 years old, made me change my mind.
One day my daughter went into the store with him. And, like many small children, the grandson began to ask for something there. But the strict mother did not follow his lead. Then the child stepped aside and uttered a monstrous phrase: “I’m tired of living!”
So you need to start talking about life with children as early as possible. And this can be done with the help of proverbs.
If you're alive, you'll be well fed.
Thrift is better than wealth.
Worry about what you need to buy, not what you need to sell.
Be afraid to live, but don't be afraid to die.

On the road you need a companion, and in life you need sympathy.
In times of need, perseverance is needed; in times of joy, vigilance is needed.
Loyalty is learned in times of great turmoil.
Praising yourself is a waste of time. If you are good, they will understand you.
Speak to the point, live according to your conscience.
It is always easier to act fairly in good fortune than in bad luck.

Live quietly - you won’t see any trouble.
Live according to your strength, reach for your abundance.
Life will stretch out - you will get everything.
Life is not about the days that have passed, but about those that are remembered.
Know more and say less.
Seek profit for yourself, but do not wish death for others.
As one lives, so one sings.
He who gets up early lives long.
Whoever gets up early, God gives him.

They meet you by their clothes, they see them off by their intelligence.
Take note of everyday life, and the holidays will come on their own.
Do everything you can, and leave the rest to fate.
The destiny of life is patience, for there are more enemies than friends.
Walk - don't stagger, talk - don't falter. Eat - don't overeat, stop - don't sway.
Rather than wishing death on your enemy, it is better to wish a long life for yourself.

Russian proverbs and sayings are apt expressions, so-called “catch phrases”, invented and used by the Russian people. These are also borrowed phrases from written sources and literary works that briefly and succinctly express wise and deep thoughts. Most Russian proverbs and sayings consist of two or more rhyming and proportional parts. Proverbs almost always have a literal and figurative meaning. There are often several versions of proverbs with similar morals. This is called a moral invariant:
Business before pleasure.
You can't take a fish out of a pond without difficulty.
The master's work is afraid.
What are their differences?
A saying is a figurative and apt expression that reflects some life phenomenon. As a rule, they make no sense, and they are limited to various allegorical expressions. This is their main difference between sayings and proverbs.
Prove that you are not a camel.
Don't keep a fig in your pocket.
Wind in my head.
Keep your nose to the wind.
Proverbs differ from sayings in a more meaningful meaning. The ancient proverbs that have survived to this day date back to the 12th century.
A proverb is a genre of folklore that is of interest to people, is the most mysterious, and also the most incomprehensible. They clearly express the accumulated experience and intelligence of an entire people over the years. Proverbs can be used to judge the values of a people; they reflect the most diverse aspects of people's lives.
Proverbs arose during the primitive communal system; they were passed on from mouth to mouth. Their main feature is the brevity and accuracy of the information transmitted. Proverbs usually consist of two parts. In the first there is a description of the object, and in the second there is an expressive assessment of the oral object or phenomenon.
Thus, proverbs are not only the most ancient genre of oral folk art, but also a modern one, of interest to scientists and people.
