Russian Proverbs

За спрос не бьют в нос- They don't hit you in the nose for asking

Знает кошка, чьё мясо сьела- The cat knows whose meat it has eaten

Кто смел, тот два сьел- Who is brave eats two

Не было у бабы хлопот, так купила порося- The woman had no trouble, so she bought a piglet

Усь в честь, а борода и у козла есть-  Moustache is respected and beard is worn even by goats
