Thoughts of writers

Russian writer Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy wrote: "One of the most amazing delusions is the delusion that a person's happiness lies in doing nothing." Such quotes from the wisest people are filled with inner content. The author explains that a person who does not work will never be happy.

"Wisdom is only in truth," - argued J. W. Goethe. He was convinced that it is necessary to think over your thoughts when making an important decision.

Quotes from the wisest people help modern man make decisions in difficult life situations. Of course, they cannot become a “universal guide to action”, but they often help to avoid disappointment.

catch phrases

We often use quotes from the wisest philosophers without even thinking about what their origin is. For example, the phrase "gifts of the Danaans" is associated with the Trojan War. Of course, it is impossible to remember all the quotes of the wisest sages, but some of them eventually became real. catchphrases.

For example, the phrase “A healthy mind in a healthy body!” we remember when we are going to play sports. Many quotes from the wisest have already become a guide to action for researchers, psychologists, and educators. Thus, Aristotle's words "knowledge begins with wonder" use school teachers when organizing project and research activities with the children.

The wisest quotes about the meaning of life, love, understanding between men and women have long been used as advertising slogans, used in television films.

Quotes from the wisest help to describe life situations without using additional words. For example, the expression "scapegoat" has interesting story. The ancient Jews used a special ceremony for the remission of sins. The clergyman folded his hands on the goat's head, as if shifting the sin of all the Jews onto it. Then the animal was driven into the desert. Despite the fact that a lot of time has passed, the meaning of the expression has not changed, it was transferred to a person.

Catch phrases in our life

The phrase "Balzac's age" also has an unusual origin. An expression arose after the publication of the novel by Honore de Balzac, called "The Thirty-Year-Old Woman", which dealt with a woman of 30-40 years of age. And today this expression is used to describe the age of the fair sex.

"White crow" consider those people who are not like others. This phrase was voiced in the 7th satire of Juvenal, an ancient Roman poet who lived in the middle of the 1st century AD. e.

The expression "put a pig" was invented by peoples who are not allowed by religion to eat pork meat. If pig meat was put on someone, then religious beliefs were defiled. At present, this expression indicates the commission of a dishonorable act in relation to another person.

The phrase "money doesn't smell" was uttered by the Roman emperor Vespasian (69 - 79 AD). It was about the money received as a tax on public latrines. The son of the emperor tried to shame his father for this, noting that they were from urine, but Vespasian said that they had no smell.

Tryn-grass is not a herbal drug used to relieve increased anxiety. In fact, earlier "tyn" was called a fence. Therefore, the expression means a weed that no one needs, that is, it grows under a fence.

"Draconian measures" called the harsh laws invented by the first legislator African Republic Dragon (7th century BC). Even a person who stole vegetables was subjected to the death penalty. According to legend, these laws were written in blood. And today, "draconian measures" are called cruel laws, harsh orders of the authorities.

The expression "retired goat drummer" also has an interesting origin story. At the old fairs, it was customary to breed trained bears. They were accompanied by a boy dressed up as a goat and a drummer who accompanied him. In our time, such an expression is attributed to a frivolous, worthless person.

Conclusion

In the Russian language, there are many interesting expressions, catchphrases, quotations uttered in different historical eras by philosophers, writers, cultural and art figures. For example, at the end of the 19th century, artist Richard Outcoult published frivolous drawings with humorous texts in the issue of The World newspaper. Among the pictures was a child in a yellow shirt, who uttered various funny statements. The New York Journal published similar drawings. The editors started a dispute about the right of primacy to publish the "yellow boy". And so the contemptuous expression "yellow press" appeared. Some expressions have long been considered "folk", people have forgotten about their true origin.

Aphorisms are short sayings that have a certain form and expressiveness. In a word, an aphorism is a well-aimed and clever thought in which the message reaches its maximum concentration. WITH Greek word"aphorism" (αφορισμός) is translated as "definition". This term was first used in a treatise by the great Greek scientist, physician Hippocrates. Gradually, collections of aphorisms began to be created, and they were mainly thematic. And when Erasmus of Rotterdam's Adagio was published, they became traditional.

History of aphorisms

Throughout the whole inquisitive minds wanted to comprehend the essence of being at all costs, and then pass on to subsequent generations their discoveries in the form of aphorisms. In ancient times, such brief wise sayings were especially valued. The thoughts of smart people were necessarily recorded either by the author of the aphorism, or by one of his close associates. The creators of these sayings were mainly philosophers, poets, scientists who most devoted their time to the study of being and understanding of the phenomena occurring in the world. In all periods of human development, there were so-called collectors of aphorisms who created entire collections of wise sayings. They contain wisdom accumulated over many centuries. Clever thought serves as an occasion for reflection, and in many cases provides answers to controversial issues.

The use of aphorisms in everyday life

Thanks to these wise sayings that certain people once came up with, you can diversify your speech, attract the attention of those who listen, impress, win them over. Aphorisms are also called "winged" phrases. After all, once spoken flies from one person to another and remains in the vocabulary of many of them for a long time. Recently, there has been a general fascination with aphorisms. Many people buy special collection books containing clever thoughts and sayings of great people. By the way, in some of them these sayings are systematized, that is, sorted by topic. For example, there are smart thoughts about life, about love, about jealousy, etc. Some people specifically memorize aphorisms in order to impress others. So, for example, some orators, political and public figures, while speaking to the masses, operate with various aphorisms, specially selected for the occasion. These clever thoughts and statements are used in their speech by university professors and high school teachers in order to win the sympathy of students. Sometimes these idioms give figurativeness to this or that phenomenon, because with the help of them it is much easier to remember this or that educational material.

Smart thoughts of great people and their meaning

Clever phrases, once expressed by the greatest people on our planet, are a kind of historical legacy. If we analyze some aphorisms invented by the wisest people on Earth, then it can be noted that for each era, for each new stage of time, some common features, which are reflected in the subtext of each of the quotes. However, on the other hand, a clever thought relating to certain phenomena, regardless of time and place, of the nationality and social status of the one who came up with this aphorism, contains the truth. Here it is clothed in phrases, and through them we are given a great opportunity to join the greatest achievements of mankind, even after many centuries.

How to comprehend the words of great people?

They say that if an explanation from the outside is needed to comprehend the meaning of an aphorism, then it means that it failed. The whole value of these short apt sayings lies in the fact that they are understandable without any explanation. The only thing to do is to read aphorisms, smart thoughts slowly, trying to comprehend each word, stress, observing, where necessary, pauses. And then you will feel all the charm of the aftertaste. A good aphorism, a well-aimed and intelligent thought, like fine wine, pleases the taste, caresses our consciousness, exalting the state of mind.

Ways of comprehension

However, the thoughts of smart people are sometimes difficult to understand from the first reading, just as it is difficult for a very hungry person to feel full from eating. So, in contact with the great, we cannot immediately appreciate the full value of the thoughts expressed by great minds. This takes time: one second, a minute, or even an eternity, the main thing is that awareness comes by itself, without explanation from anyone from outside. Each time returning to the source of knowledge and saying out loud quotes, smart thoughts and sayings the greatest people, we also become spiritually richer, being charged with the semantic energy emanating from them. But even the strongest statement read in a hurry, like a piece swallowed on the go, will not bring any benefit. Our ability to comprehend and evaluate smart thoughts and statements is a great blessing that is bestowed upon us by the mind and the entire Universe.
