  • Assyrian Proverb?

"Za dvumya zaitsami pogonish'sya, ne odnogo ne poimaesh"

This is not an Assyrian Proverb... that's Russian!

  • MOST of the proverbs in this page aren't Assyrian at all, but Russian! They are taken from:

thinkexist.com/quotes/russian_proverb/ It is a shame to pass off Russian quotes as Assyrian proverbs... --- Gianni A. Sarcone —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.5.123.8 (talk) 07:17, 20 July 2010

  • I have not reviewed all ten pagefulls there but, just spot checking them, this does indeed appear to be the case. Neither this article nor thoughtitwasthinkexist cites any sources, so neither "attribution" has any credence whatsoever. See discussion at the Village Pump regarding this sort of article. ~ Ningauble 15:12, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
