Hi Georgios!

Russian saying about silent waters:

В тихом омуте черти водятся - direct translaation:

In a silent whirlpool there live (dangerous essences)

It corresponds to the English proverb:

Still waters run deep

Waiting more proverbs, Lydia

Okay Lydia, here is a quote from one of my favorite writers.

     “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.”

Henry David Thoreau

Thanks,

Sara

Hi Amanda, thanks for Your example, very interesting

"Watch out when you are swimming in shark infested waters."

My reply to this quote - "Волков бояться - в лес не ходить" - Direct transfer - "If you are afraid of wolves do not go to wood".

It corresponds to an English proverb - "Nothing venture, nothing win".

And another  example replay in Russian proverb - "Кто не рискует, тот не пьёт шампанское" - "Who does not risk, that does not drink champagne"

Waiting next examples, Lydia

Thanks, Sara, very interesting quote!

After Your link I found there many interesing quotes, one of these:

“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of that which is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope”

Competition proceeds!

Waiting new proverbs about fish and fishing, Lydia
