Proverbs and sayings with the number 1

A mountain of a thousand miles begins with one grain of sand. You can't build a house from one tree. You can't make porridge from just a grain of wheat. Better to see once than hear a hundred times. In one place the stone is overgrown with moss. One for all and all for one. One madman threw a stone into a well, but a hundred wise men were unable to retrieve it. One beaten one is worth two unbeaten ones. Break one pancake in half. One is in the harrow, and everyone is to the side. One is in sin, and everyone is responsible. Alone at sea is not a fisherman. Alone in the field is not a warrior. One warrior leads a thousand. One wolf chases a regiment of sheep. One thief - ruin for the whole world. One eye is on us, and the other is on Arzamas. I've been stuck for ten years for one year. One goose will not trample down the field. One is like a stump, and the other is like a log. One horse will not kick up dust, and even if it does kick up dust, it will not achieve glory. If you bite one finger, everything hurts. One is plowing, and seven are waving their arms. One about Thomas, the other about Yerema. Once doesn't count. Once you fail, the second time you'll learn. Once protect yourself from fire, another time from water. Once you look - flowers and roses, another time you look - wind and storm. One mouth and he fights. One chops, and the other blows a trumpet. One with a bipod, and seven with a spoon. Miron has one son, and that one is Mironovich. One mind is good, but two are better. One smart man drives ten crazy people. One is like a moon in the sky. Everywhere is home for the lonely. One misfortune comes, another leads. One misfortune does not go away: misfortune will give birth to misfortune. One spring in your homeland is better than a hundred springs in a foreign land. One head on his shoulders. One head it's good, but two better. One swallow does not make spring. One fox will lead seven wolves. One fly in the ointment spoils a barrel of honey. One wise head is worth a hundred heads. One leg here, the other there. One clothes - both in the world, and at the feast, and in the backyard. Only truth lives in the world. One bee is better than a swarm of flies. One bee does not make much honey. One hand in honey, the other in molasses. One hand does not knit a knot. One luck goes, another leads. Sleep with one eye and watch with the other. If you cut down one tree, you plant ten. One grain yields a handful. One eye can see far. One today is better than two tomorrow. One ear is deaf. Birds of a feather. You can't clap your hands with one hand. You can't tie a knot with one hand. He lights it with one hand and puts it out with the other. If you go alone, the road is long. To live alone is to make your heart cold, but in public even death is red. It's boring to walk alone and drown yourself. One had it come true, but the other failed. One is scared, but everyone (the world) is not scared. (Together it’s not scary.) One word can lead to a quarrel forever. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Once you lie, you become a liar forever. Hands can overcome one, knowledge – a thousand. The hedgehog has one strength - its spines. What you can't do alone, ten will do. What is food for one is poison for another.
