Russian proverbs - near English equivalents?

[Valentina Soboleva]

Zita, 

in the first proverb instead of "gore" should be "goria net" (Gen c. from gore); also, I think, in the third one, the preposition "v" should be repeated: "V kotoryj ...., v tot den' ne starish'sia." 



But I cannot help with translations.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Russian proverbs - near English equivalents?

Dear Seelangers, 

I am turning to this wonderful group for help. With colleagues I am working 
on an answer key for the Kendall-Hunt Publishing Company's textook   «Mir 
russkikh» to have this answer key join the «Answer Key for Mir russkih 
Exercise Book» which became available last year. 

We are having difficulty in answering an exercise that asks for finding 
near English equivalents to four Russian proverbs. I would appreciate receiving 
suggested answers. I transliterate the Russian in case the Cyrillic does 
not come through. 

«___ _______ _ ______, ___ _ _____ ___» (Gde lyubov i sovet, tam i gore 
net) 

«__ _______ _____ _______, _ _______ _________» (Ne krasna izba uglami, a 
krasna pirogami) 

«_ ________ ____ _________, ___ ____ __ __________» (V kotoryj den 
parishsya, tot den ne starishsya) 

«_____ _ ______ _________» (Doma i steny pomogayut) 

Thank you in advance,
