Będę wdzięczna za sugestie, jak można zgrabnie przetłumaczyć to przysłowie. Chodzi o jego istotę, niekoniecznie o formę. Miałam kiedyś zbiór przysłów angielskich w jednym zgrabnym tomie, ale udał się w niebyt, zapewne podczas jednej z moich licznych przeprowadzek. Teraz czas mnie nagli, a polotu brak.
