Russian folk sayings about human preferences. The wisdom of life in proverbs and sayings

Domestic goats, like their wild relatives, are herbivorous animals, but they are especially famous for their love for various gifts of gardens and vegetable gardens. It is believed that cabbage is a favorite treat for these small artiodactyls. So why not let the goat into the garden? Let the horned one eat at will. But no! Folk wisdom strictly forbids goats to enter the reserved space.

If you want to quarrel with your neighbor - get a goat

Domestic goats are bred for wool, milk and meat. Providing the owners with these natural products is the prerogative of females. But you can't do without a goat either. He is the leader of the herd, without his participation the goat will not have offspring, which means that you cannot wait for milk from her. However, regardless of gender, these animals have a rather obstinate character, increased agility and a tendency to hooligan behavior.

There is even such a proverb: let the goat into the garden, he will devour all the cabbage. Let's first consider this phrase in its direct meaning. The thing is that a goat that has reached the beds will not be satisfied with two or three heads of delicious vegetable. Even being full, the goat will do a lot of troubles in the garden. Everything that he cannot eat will gnaw and spoil, trample the well-groomed earth with sharp hooves, even gnaw bark from trees.

On this score, there is one more continuation of the well-known proverb: to let the goat into the garden - apple trees cannot be protected from fear. In general, from the disobedient goat to the owners continuous losses. Well, if a malicious animal makes its way to someone else's site, then enmity between neighbors cannot be avoided.

The figurative meaning of the proverb about goat and cabbage

Let's imagine that our goat is not an animal at all, but quite a decent-looking person. And then this citizen came to visit someone and, taking advantage of the good disposition of the owners, began to establish his own order there, acting rudely and unceremoniously. In this case, the saying "let the goat into the garden" takes on almost the same meaning as in the expression "got hold of the free one." That is, they trusted the person, but he behaved in a boorish way.

It is even worse if such an individual is admitted to financial affairs in a public or private company. Here, and "cabbage" will come in handy in the form of rustling bank papers. Hoping for the honesty of an unprincipled comrade is like letting a goat into the garden ─ the damage from his activities will have to be raked up for a long time.

Do not trust a person who has stained himself

The proverb also contains a warning that you cannot entrust any work to a person who has been seen in unseemly actions. Sometimes they say: "Let the goat into the garden, and put the sheep to guard the wolf." It is clear that nothing good will come of such events. The garden will be hopelessly ruined, and horns and legs will remain from the flock of sheep.

Of course, there are times when people, once having stumbled, take the righteous path, but still you need to be careful and believe not the words, but the actions of the repentant intruder. This is what folk wisdom teaches us.

Obviously, all variants of the proverb have a similar meaning. To let a goat into the garden means to be at a serious loss and get big trouble on your head.

Proverbs and sayings - it seems that this is something from deep childhood, from a colorful textbook on reading for elementary school. And, at the same time, they remind of themselves every day, even if no one says them. Because they are life itself, its reflection. If you want, the "formulas" of life, which explain: if you do this, it will be so, but it happened because of that ... After all, proverbs contain folk wisdom. The experience of generations that does not depend either on the historical era, or on fashion, or on the political or economic situation. The only thing that this experience depends on is time, which enriches and fills it.

What is the difference between a proverb and a saying?

Proverbs can be called a storehouse of experience and wisdom in their purest form. This is a short dictum, instructive in spirit and complete in meaning. For example: "You can't easily catch a fish from a pond."

A saying is something else. Rather, it is just a stable combination that expresses some kind of thought, concept instead of any word, or denoting a frequently repeated, recognizable phenomenon: “like two drops of water”, “like snow on the head”, “neither think, nor guess, not a pen to describe "...

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

Then, when literature, print, even television spread, the storehouse of wisdom began to be replenished with "author's" proverbs and sayings - the catch phrases of the heroes of favorite films, well-aimed turns in the texts of books ... But the meaning of proverbs and sayings in our life remained the same: a hint at a crossroads, consolation in trouble, a reminder of what must not be forgotten ...

Proverbs and sayings with deciphering their meaning

AND

And Vaska listens and eats. (Quote from the fable of I. A. Krylov. The meaning of the saying that one says explains, interprets, tries to "get through to Vaska," and Vaska ignores everything and does everything his own way.)

And the chest just opened ... (Quote from the fable of I.A.Krylov. It is said in the case when in fact everything was much simpler than people thought and did.)

And at least the grass won't grow there. (The meaning of the saying is that the person who said this phrase expresses complete indifference to what will happen after his act or any situation, and to those who will suffer as a result of his actions.)
