The proverb "You can't even catch a fish out of a pond without effort" was mentioned by Russians more often than others in answers to the question of what proverbs and sayings they use in everyday life, writes RBC, citing a study. The leaders also included "Patience and work will grind everything", "Live forever, learn forever", "Don't have a hundred rubles, but have a hundred friends", "You have done the work, go on a trip with courage", and "If you like to ride, you also like to carry a sled".
