Table speeches in the Caucasus are a whole ritual, often becoming a mini-performance. They are so bright and memorable that other nations gladly borrow them and pronounce them at their banquets. It is a good toast that “holds the table” and turns a banal meal into a celebration. Interesting Caucasian toasts for all occasions are presented in this selection.
Cool and funny Caucasian toasts
A sense of humor is highly valued in the Caucasus. Therefore, toasts here are rarely without a joke. They often ridicule human vices - stupidity, greed, cowardice, unworthy of a horseman. Caucasians can also make fun of rather sensitive moments in the relationship between husband and wife, fathers and children.
The basis for a humorous toast can be an ordinary joke, to which the introductory word “one day” is first added. Further, under any anecdotal situation, a solemn final phrase with a proposal to raise glasses. In terms of meaning, it does not necessarily have to logically follow from the above. The subtlety of a funny Caucasian toast sometimes arises from the paradoxical nature of its conclusion.
Once in one mountain village all the men gathered, the elder, deciding to find out whether they respect their wives, asked:
“Whoever of you is dissatisfied with your wives, let him stand up!”
Everyone stood up, only one person continued to sit. The elder was glad that at least one man in the village respects his wife and does not say that he is dissatisfied with her; He said:
– Thank God, for the first time I see a man satisfied with his wife!
To this the horseman who remained seated replied:
- You're wrong, ata. I didn’t get up because my wife broke my leg with a poker and I can’t get up. Otherwise I would have jumped up first...
So let's drink to the fact that women never give men the opportunity to stop respecting them!
One day young Sofiko complained to her friend:
– Vano came to see me last night. I was so excited, so fascinated by him that in a fit of ardent tenderness I said: “Take the most precious thing from me!” He led the horse out of the stable, jumped on it and rushed off like the wind.
So let's drink to the fact that we always understand women correctly!
One day, on a distant mountain plateau, a shepherd was tending a herd of goats. Suddenly an eagle fell from the sky onto the herd like a stone and grabbed one kid. The shepherd fired and the eagle fell, and the kid flew on.
So let's drink so that eagles don't get shot and goats don't fly.
Once upon a time, there lived one very rich man and one poor man in the mountains. And both wanted happiness. The rich man was served happiness on a large platter, but soon he grew tired of it, and he began to cry because he did not know what else to want.
But the poor man’s happiness was on a high rock, and he climbed and climbed it, but, not knowing the rules of rock climbing, he failed every time.
So let's drink to not looking for fraudulent happiness on a wide platter, but to enroll in the mountaineering and rock climbing section, and thereby acquire reliable life skills.
Congratulatory toasts for the wedding
A wedding in the Caucasus is an event as large-scale and significant as in the rest of Russia. However, marriage is taken much more seriously here than anywhere else. Even a passing suggestion about the possibility of divorce is not allowed. The marriage union is sacred and inviolable.
It is not surprising that wedding toasts occupy a special place in the array of texts of dinner speeches. And here it is not enough to say a wish to the young, ending it with the steady phrase “So let’s have a drink...”. In Caucasian wedding speech it should be conveyed valuable experience family life. This can be done in different shapes– both lyrically and humorously.
In the Caucasus they say: “If you want to be happy for one day, drink wine.” If you want to be happy for two days, drink fine wine for two days. If you want to be happy all your life, respect, appreciate, take care of your wife.”
So let's drink to our groom, and may he be happy all his life!
When one respected aksakal celebrated his eightieth birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his life together with his wife, he was asked:
Once a venerable Georgian prince sneezed, and the servant said hastily:
- A thousand years of health!
- Tsits! - the gentleman shouted. - Why do you wish the impossible for me?
“Then live one hundred and twenty years.”
- Tsits! – the prince became angry again.
- Then at least a hundred!
Didn't please again!
- Eighty?
All wrong! The servant lost patience and said:
- Yes, if it were my will, then die now!
Let's drink to our birthday boy living as long as he wishes!
In a distant village lived an old aksakal. And then one day he decided to leave for another world. But suddenly he stood up strong wind and brought a newspaper from somewhere. And then the aksakal’s gaze came across a note telling that another aksakal lives in a neighboring village, who is 120 years old, and that he still feels great. Our elder felt offended, and he said:
I will live longer than him, because I am only 119 years old.
So let's raise our glasses to ensure that the birthday boy's mail always arrives on time.
A real man is one who remembers exactly a woman’s birthday and never knows how old she is. So let's drink to life path our birthday girl only met real men!
Every woman is like a rose - equally beautiful. But there are no roses without thorns. The petals quickly fly away, but the prickly thorns remain. So let's drink to the birthday girl who manages to be an ever-blooming rose without thorns!
One old aksakal told me: “By how a man’s wife is, how good she is and what kind of housewife she is, one can judge what he is like and whether he knows his worth.” So let's drink to the charming and skillful birthday girl, whose husband, apparently, is a real sultan!
Wise Caucasian toasts-parables
The parable is short cautionary tale, akin to a fable. Caucasian folklore contains a great variety of them, and almost each of them can become the basis for a toast. The plots of the parables are very diverse, and their heroes can be both people and animals. Feature It is precisely the Caucasian parable that conveys the clear image of a traveler on a mountain road.
Taking a parable as the basis for a toast, you need to end it with a conclusion. The final sentence, “Let us raise our glasses...” can relate to anything from love to cybernetics. It all depends on the goal of the toaster and his ability to derive his own moral from the story. The Caucasian parable, thus, becomes universal material for toasts for all occasions.
One stupid and proud ram wanted so badly to be the best in his flock that he climbed to the highest peak of the high mountain. A strong wind began, all the rams rallied into a herd and held out, but that ram, alas, was alone and could not resist the force of the wind. With his next impulse, he flew into the gorge and crashed. So let's drink to the fact that there will be no such sheep in our company, we will be a single team.
Caucasian wisdom says: “If you want to find strong love- look for a woman in love. If you want to find devoted love, look for a faithful wife. Do you want to find eternal love“Never forget the way to your mother’s house.”
Let's drink to the boundless and eternal love of our mothers!
As the elders say, in life a person should avoid two types of people: those who do not need him, and those who do not need him.
So let's raise a glass to all of us sitting at this festive table. May each of us always be needed by someone!
Caucasians have a legend: when a child appears in a family, 100 devils appear in addition to it. When he turns one year old, one angel is born, and there are one less devil. And so every next year: the number of angels increases, and the number of devils decreases. Let's raise our glasses so that we all live to see the moment when there are no devils left!
One day two young horsemen argued about which women were more beautiful. One claimed that they were brunettes. Another thought they were blondes. They decided to ask the elder. The elder shook his head and said: “A real horseman, when asked whether he likes brunettes or blondes more, must answer: YES!”
Behind right decisions real men!
High in the mountains, where the sky embraces the mountain peaks, lived a great sage. His wisdom was so great and known that the most important leaders of the surrounding tribes came to consult with him and they were never disappointed in his advice. But then one day, a big disaster came to one of the surrounding villages; domestic animals began to die. And no one could understand the reason for this misfortune. And then the elders decided to turn to the sage for help. The sage listened to them and said: “You, dear ones, need to go to the vet!” So let's drink to everyone minding their own business and if you have a problem, contact a specialist! Here's to the experts in their field!
One day a young man came to the sage. He asked the sage what happiness is. The sage thought a little and said:
- Happiness is an elastic concept, for a mother happiness is a baby, for a merchant it is a new horse. Everyone chooses for themselves what happiness means to them. So think about what you crave and what you love. So let’s drink to each of us realizing our own happiness.
The daughter had two apples, the mother asked to give her one. And the daughter took it and bit both of them... The mother already thought that her daughter did not love her at all. But the daughter handed one apple to her mother and said: “Here, mom, this is the most delicious.” Let's drink so that we know that even if it seems to us that something bad has happened, it can be for our good. Don't rush to conclusions!
High in the mountains, among the beautiful mountain landscapes, where the clouds catch their strands on the peaks of the snow-white plains, on a luxurious lawn full of emerald grass, there once lived a mountain goat. And this goat behaved like a real goat, all the time he yelled in a voice that was not his own and tried to hook someone on his horns or hook him with his shaggy side. He was so evil that the day came when there was absolutely no one left around. And then the goat withered from sadness and died. And for a long time his lonely bones remained white among the beautiful valley. So let's drink to the fact that no matter what nature surrounds us, we will never be goats! Because goats die alone!
For good health,
So that it doesn't let you down,
To live like in the Caucasus,
So that everything can be done at once!
May the summers be long,
May you always be lucky
So that troubles pass by,
May everyone around you love you!
I suggest you drink for this,
I wish you success
So that all plans come true,
And stay away from grief!

FROM THE WISDOM OF THE EAST AND THE CAUCASUS
In the very depths of your hopes and desires lies the silent knowledge of another world... Believe in your dreams, for the gates of eternity are hidden in them.
Jibran Khalil
If you want to act wisely, ask your wife's opinion, listen to it and do the completely opposite.
Harun al-Rashid
Whoever thinks that he will extinguish his desires by satisfying them is like a madman who strives to extinguish the fire with straw.
Persian wisdom
Islam is not a green robe, a Turkish cap and a beard. Islam is the soul of a person, which can be decorated not with clothes, but good deeds. As a Chechen, I value Chechen clothing, not Arabic or Turkish clothing. The Almighty created me a Chechen, and no one except Him knows how grateful I am to Him for this.
Abdulbaki Jamo
Jordanian Sheikh
;
Carelessness is the cause of all disasters.
A. Jami
Wine communicates four qualities to everyone who drinks it. At the beginning, a person becomes like a peacock - he puffs up, his movements are smooth and majestic. Then he takes on the character of a monkey and begins to joke and flirt with everyone. Then he becomes like a lion and becomes arrogant, proud, confident in his strength. But in conclusion he turns into a pig and, like her, wallows in the mud.
Abul Faraj
It is said that we are obliged to forgive our enemies; but nowhere does it say that we should forgive our friends.
C. Medici
Do not accept alms from thieves, for they will steal even more from the people.
Chechen wisdom
Fools notice only people's faults and do not pay attention to their virtues. They are like flies that try to land only on the inflamed part of the body.
Abul Faraj
A condescending attitude towards stupidity is inherent in every intelligent person.
Abul Faraj
He who shouts in anger is ridiculous; he who is silent in anger is terrible.
Abay Kunakbaev
Anger beyond measure causes fear, and excessive affection reduces respect for you in people's eyes. Don’t be so harsh that everyone gets tired of you, and don’t be so meek that they dare you.
Saadi
If the giver does this in front of everyone, then he is not giving, but bribing.
Chechen wisdom
Man is amazingly structured - he is upset when he loses wealth, and is indifferent to the fact that the days of his life are irrevocably passing away.
Abul Faraj
War tests a brave man, anger tests a wise man, a friend tests need.
Al-Harizi
There is no need to hide your illness
From two people: from a doctor and a friend.
Attar
Do good to people while you have the opportunity. Then, when there is no such opportunity, you will regret it.
Chechen wisdom
If you lend, you either lose money or make an enemy.
Albanian proverb
A smart person is capable of changing, if necessary. Only the grave will change a fool.
Chechen proverb
The only way to help yourself is to help others.
You have always been told that work is a curse and a misfortune. But I will say that when you work, you realize a piece of a dream about the future that is intended just for you; living in work, you lead the life of a truly world-loving person; and to love work life means to know the deepest secret of existence.
Jibran Khalil
The highest courage is to find endurance and patience in yourself after endurance and patience have already run out.
Chechen wisdom
Kindness and tenderness are not signs of weakness and powerlessness, but a manifestation of strength and determination.
But I say that just as even the most righteous and holy man cannot rise above the highest that is in each of you, so evil person cannot fall below the basest, which is also contained in each of you.
Your joy is your sorrow that has dropped its mask. The well from which you draw laughter has been filled with your tears more than once. And how could it be otherwise? The deeper the cave that sorrow digs in our soul, the more joy it can contain.
Labor is love manifested. And if you cannot work with joy and feel only an aversion to work, then it is better to quit your work, sit at the door of the temple and accept alms from those who work with joy. For if you bake bread, remaining indifferent, then this bread will be bitter and will only satisfy a person’s hunger by half.
It is good to give when asked, but it is better to give without being asked, being able to understand the need of another person.
I learned silence from the talkative, patience from the intemperate, kindness from the wicked.
Life without love is like a tree without flowers and fruits.
Money is like love: it kills those who keep it only for themselves with a slow and painful death, but it awakens those who generously share with their neighbors to a new life.
Generosity is not about giving me what I need more than you; no, generosity is giving me what you need more than me.
Jibran Khalil
At happy life there is no need for fortune telling.
Thrift at home is more profitable than profitable trade.
When one ant drags a grain, another ant will always help.
ABC - steps to wisdom.
The anger of a good man is terrible.
Grown-up children are like fire. Either you manage to spread this fire to the right hearths, or it will burn down your parents’ house.
Chechen wisdom
Why are envious people always upset about something? Because they are consumed not only by their own failures, but also by the successes of others.
Abul Faraj
To be closer to God, become closer to people.
If the purpose of religion is reward, if patriotism serves selfish interests, and education serves the achievement of social status, then I prefer to be an unbeliever, an unpatriotic and a humbly ignorant person.
Justice is close to the human heart, but mercy is close to the heart of God.
The chemist who manages to extract from the heart the elements of compassion, respect, longing, patience, empathy, surprise and the ability to forgive, and then combine all these elements into one, will be able to create an atom of what is called love.
Anyone who needs incentives to perform a noble deed will never be able to do it.
The value of a person lies in the few things he has created, and not at all in the enormous wealth he has accumulated.
The Lord placed an apostle in every heart to lead us along a bright path, and yet many people are looking for light on the outside, not suspecting that it is inside them.
When you give up your possessions, your sacrifice is small. The real gift is to give up on yourself.
You were also told that life is darkness, and in your weakness you repeat what was said weak people. I affirm: yes, life is actually darkness if it is devoid of aspirations, and all aspirations are blind if they are devoid of knowledge. And all knowledge is in vain if there is no work, and any work will remain empty if there is no love; and only when you work with love do you create bonds among yourself, do you become attached to each other and to God himself.
Jibran Khalil
The mortal world was created by a sorcerer,
All of it is fairy tales and empty fiction.
Do not be deceived by the ghost of goodness,
But stand unwaveringly against evil.
You are a snake catcher, and the world is like a snake, -
You will die from a bite, snake catcher.
The world is prosperous, and you
Obliged to vegetate.
May the world be unfair to you
Be fair yourself.
The greatness of political figures is measured not by their ringing slogans and solemn declarations, but by the results of their actions. Some statesmen win immortality with their beneficial deeds in the name of man and humanity, others assert their immortality in history through atrocities, but only if these atrocities are unique.
The Almighty fattens man unnecessarily to his destruction
Chechen wisdom
The best praise is the one that comes from a person to whom you have done nothing good.

Our deceit comes from weakness.
Ferdowsi
Don't be like a drum that only works when you are beaten.
Chechen proverb
Born from the ultimate,
We enter the eternity of existence.
And life has no beginning,
And there is no end in sight for her.
Try to leave this world like this,
To part with the experience without debt.
Leave the world without finishing your business -
Isn’t it the same as leaving the bathhouse unwashed?
You see: time ages everything,
What seemed new to us.
But time also makes you younger
Past deeds.
Navoi
What you don’t want to have tomorrow, discard today, and what you want to have tomorrow, acquire today.
Abul Faraj
And what was obtained without difficulty,
We lose easily.
Don't expect services from a slacker:
He doesn't have time to bother with you.
But a friend will always help you,
That he works tirelessly.
But if the past is returned to us,
Former happiness will not become happiness.
Mirza Shafi
The meaning of life is the same throughout the ages,
Its forms can never be counted.
The foam changes its appearance,
Depth is constant.
Who, Jami, rose above mortality
And along the way I lost “we” and “I”,
It may be the beginning in appearance,
But in fact it could be the end.
Jami
Angels are forces hidden in the abilities and organs of man.
Al Arabi
Life is like a ladder. A person lives as long as he continues to climb up.
We are all created in the image of God. All religions are united when it comes to the question of creation. God is the great creator and all religions teach us that we were created in the image of God. Therefore, the main purpose of the human race is to be creators. We must be creators in order to complete our likeness to the Creator.
It has already been proven that people overwhelmed by anger and irritation cannot create. The more firmly we are focused on creation, the more creative forces we have, and the more good we can do.
You must work not only to help the people around you in the present, but also to pay off the debts of those who helped you along the path of life.
Mahmoud Khalil
The most serious insult is that which comes from a person to whom you have done nothing wrong.
Abul Faraj

Due to the strangeness of human psychology, the names of the sowers of good gradually disappear from his memory, but the names of the great villains remain forever.
Abdurakhman Avtorkhanov
I hastened to embellish myself to match others,
Not his neighbors for his patience - he praised himself again.
When did you learn in separation where is the haste, where is the patience -
Then, praise be to Allah, I was able to know myself.
So that this mortal world of earth
The darkness did not darken
Be a guiding star for everyone
Burn yourself to ashes.
Jami
Man is created insatiable. The only thing he will be satisfied with is the earth, which will overcome him in the grave.
Chechen wisdom
Behind the darkness is the limit of the radiance of light,
Believe in it and be unshakable.
Everything in the world is like this: there is flame and burning,
There is always a curtain of smoke above the flame.
Take difficulties and suffering as a gift from the Almighty, sent in order to awaken perseverance and strength in us; refine our mind and enlighten our mind.
Chechen wisdom
There is no such quantity that, after division, would become something that no longer has parts; bodies do not consist of parts that do not have their own parts.

If you want to become rich easily, be undemanding.
Unsuralmaali
It has been this way since creation:
In poetry and life - all roads are separate.
Some strive for heights, some strive for depth,
But the majority go somewhere wrong.
Loud speech sometimes does not shine with anything,
Quiet speech is the speech of things.
The circle of fate revolves silently,
And the wheel of the cart rattles and grinds.
Mirza Shafi
In this life, souls full of love are inconspicuous,
And it is in vain to lament, to look around oneself with longing.
Goodness that fell from the sky is not worth more,
The heir lived idly, just spent without bothering.
Didn't we get the soul for nothing?
How easy it is to spend something you didn’t earn yourself!
Rumi
He who lives in spirit shines with valor.
Living with the body - valor kills.
Saadi
Temporary failure is better than temporary success.
The members of the human body are instruments in the hands of God, with the help of which he punishes man.
Abul Faraj
Yes, I think it’s time to regenerate people.
The world must be created anew, otherwise it is hell.
Hafiz
They tell me: “If you are silent, you don’t know, which means you are in grief.”
No, I've had enough grief, but I don't have the strength to scream.
I do not blame you. This is how it goes from time immemorial:
Those who are imprisoned are not thought of by the free.
Only those who have suffered themselves will understand suffering.
Metal becomes more pliable in fire.
Oh, stepsons of fate, struck down by sadness,
Come, I will understand, I have experienced grief.
Rock is not friends with anyone. You are subject to fate.
He doesn’t even sigh, he torments and is satisfied.
And if he sighs, it’s only for this
To extinguish the candle of those who are disadvantaged.

Life is a difficult science. A person lives while he learns life. Having stopped studying, he stops living and turns into a stone on the road, preventing others from living.

Ibn Rushd

Abul Faraj
;
Each of us has our own earthly
Let it be a small joy, let it be a big one.
And even the one who knows: there is no happiness,
Finds happiness by affirming this.
Lucky is the one of us who has passed the test,
Who can say in the hour of death
goodbye,
That he suffered a punishment greater than guilt
And he himself suffered more than he caused the suffering.
Whatever misfortune sends, whatever luck sends,
We accepted everything in life, sometimes rejoicing, sometimes crying.
And if you couldn’t take happiness for yourself,
Neither the king of the earth nor God can give it.
Not everyone is given the ability to comprehend.
Who has read the sayings of wisdom,
Not everyone has comprehended the wisdom of the saying.
Only a fool or a villain counts,
That grief improves people.
Mirza Shafi
It is necessary that there should be a group of men who are accomplished in the several modes of human perfection, and who help each other to achieve complete perfection; the less perfect follows the comprehensively perfect as a means of preparation for his complete perfection, and the comprehensively perfect benefits the less perfect, giving him the beginnings of his perfection. The situation is the same as with the art of horse riding and the craft of a bridle master. For the craft of one who makes a bridle serves the art of riding as a preparation for it, and the art of riding shows how the bridle can be improved and how both can unite to achieve a common goal.
Whenever we discover among the peoples living before us any views and judgments regarding things... we should study what they said about this and set out in their books. If something in these books corresponds to the truth, let’s take it from them, rejoice at it and thank them for it; if something turns out to be inconsistent with the truth, we will point it out, warn them against it and forgive them.

What you are hiding from your enemy, do not tell your friend, because there is no guarantee that friendship will last forever.
Only people with a strong character can be truly soft. Big vice youth - stubbornness sometimes leads to mature years to the great advantage of perseverance.
A fool can be easily recognized by two signs: he always speaks in such a way that his words have no benefit to him, and he always interferes in things that are not his own business.
A smart person always recognizes a stupid person, since he himself was in his shoes before he gained intelligence.
A fool is not upset by the poverty of his mind.
Abul Faraj
Through the shell of the world your eye does not see the hidden life,
So learn to look at the mysteries of the universe with the eyes of your heart.
Look at everything that is visible and corporeal with open eyes,
But teach your heart to see the reverse side of the mortal appearance.
The artery of the spirit was pierced with the needle of love,
And a drop fell, and they called it a heart.
Rumi

Abul Faraj
And if you want to know yourself,
Be careful not to overshadow yourself.
For a song - rhymes have a sweet sound,
As for the yoke folds of a robe.
Neither rhyme nor clothes can cover
Ugliness or poverty of content.
Here is your head, my friend,
And here is your hand.
But how from head to hand
The road is long.
Mirza Shafi
You often forget good things,
Remembering only the evil deed.
Do you need to think about thorns?
Eating the fruit with pleasure?
Oh, frivolous youth, you shouldn't judge
About what the wise men know, but you did not know and did not know.
Think first, speak later. But stop before they tell you "that's enough." Man, unlike animals, is given language. But he is worse than an animal if he uses his tongue to harm.
The distinction between royal dignity and the title of slave will disappear when the inevitable determination of fate comes. If someone splits the earth that covers the dead, he will not distinguish between the rich and the poor.
The world in which we exist is like a magic lantern. A lantern is the sun, in whose rays we flicker in a bizarre way.
Extending mercy to the evil is not fair, but it pleases the Almighty. To forgive oppressors and those who strive to rise with money and power is to oppress the oppressed.

Put down roots in the soil of your homeland.
B. Khudoydod-zade
I became insignificant in my stagnant existence, -
Stagnation always harms worthy husbands.
How good is running water!
How it spoils in a calm pond!
Oh God, you created the sage naked and poor,
And you clothed stupidity and debauchery with gold!
How changeable you are, O world, you were conceived by vanity.
You are always happy to seduce and deceive.
May the light never fade over me
The poor have knowledge previously inaccessible.
Unlearned, I walked, stumbling in the darkness.
I will make every effort to dispel the darkness.
Smart people study in order to know; insignificant - in order to be known.
Eastern wisdom
With a sober and reasonable look
Look at this world
You'll see everything differently
You will understand life in a new way.
The world is like an ocean
Build a boat out of good deeds.
And then it's calm
And you can easily cross.

There is no sweeter book in the world than a friend.
A book is a teacher without pay or gratitude. Every moment she gives you revelations of wisdom. This is an interlocutor with a brain covered with skin, speaking silently about secret affairs.

Where there is great violence, there is great hatred.

A person who writes has thoughts arguing with each other on every page, in every line, for every word.
We will all die, there are no immortal people,
And this is all known and not new.
But we live to leave a mark:
A house or a path, a tree or a word.
Rasul Gamzatov
The purpose of life is to live in such a way that even after death you will not die.
Musa Jalil
The book penetrates the doors, bravely removes the covers, gives understanding without understanding; he is a speaker who does not speak; the gaze of the yearning person is directed towards her if separation is sitting next to him. And the pen is the creator of hordes of words; it serves desire and does not suffer from boredom from excess; it is silent, standing, and speaks, moving along the ground, the whiteness of which darkens, and the blackness illuminates; it is as if it kisses the carpet at the feet of the ruler or opens the gates of an orchard.
Ibn al-Mu'tazz
Konakh (man) does not remain without enemies and slander, for only no one throws stones at a barren tree.
Chechen wisdom
Ignorance always brings shame
Ignorance is an eternal source of shame.
Remember well where enmity comes from:
From idle, stupid ridicule,
which is alien to the brotherhood.
A man is great only in his mind and knowledge.
And without them we will become indistinguishable, inconspicuous.
Who betrayed friendship at least once,
There is no faith in him, even if he sings like a Saaz.
Don't answer stupidity with stupidity,
Distinguish loyalty from betrayal.
He who knows the truth will not reproach someone who does not know.
Beautiful mouth, but in the lair of the mouth
Trouble for a person is locked.
If I am truly master of reason and words, -
So why should I be afraid of myself?
False friends do not then fuss,
That your share is close to them:
They demand their share
And they are looking for a piece of something sweet.
There is not and has not been in the universe since eternity
Holier than the working man.
Every year the peasant opens a treasure:
Here is his arable land, and there is a blooming garden.
May your life be a joy to all others.
Give yourself to others like bunches of grapes.
Silence is a treasure for everyone.
The tongue conceals both evil and sin.
Hold your tongue, sometimes being impatient with evil.
Don’t grin, don’t make empty jokes your craft.
With knowledge you will obtain thousands of swords, but with a sword you cannot obtain knowledge.
If you don’t want to incur evil grief for yourself -
Bite your tongue, restrain yourself from an evil word.
Do not upset people, either by deed or by word.
You need to listen to any human melancholy.
Do not judge what you do not know, you are intoxicated with vanity.
Remaining silent is much better than saying nothing.
No thrill of love, no sorrow, no joy, -
You won't find anything in a donkey necklace.
A wise man, knowing a lot, is considered a rich man.
But a rich man cannot be considered a sage.
You weigh the word on precise scales:
A soulless word is just wind and dust.
A person is good if he is bright from within.
Don't look at the brilliant appearance.
You value your friend, since he really is a friend,
Don’t let go of his floors for a moment.

Ancient folk wisdom says: "When we drink, we talk a lot!" This rule was born in ancient centuries among peoples famous for their hospitality and special wine drinking rituals. It is from them that the tradition of toasts originates - special genre table eloquence.
Caucasian toasts their roots go back to the ancient traditions of the peoples of the Caucasus. These toasts are beautiful, eloquent and celebrate courage, bravery, family and friendship. But most of all, Caucasians value toasts that are made from the heart.
How to pronounce toasts correctly?

“In the morning I’ll leave the office, sit down at the table, light a long cigarette, and start saying that I have an awful lot to do and that I’ll have to get started after lunch.” Then after lunch I’ll go with a businessman friend to a restaurant and eat and drink, then I’ll return to the office and scold everyone for not doing anything. Then I’ll go home and, terribly tired, lie down on the sofa and watch TV. So let's drink to the children - our future!
One respectable citizen argued with his friends that he had the most faithful wife in the world and that the Bzyb River would sooner turn its waters back than his wife would cheat on him. The great magician and wizard Suren heard this argument, grinned and said:
- If your wife cheats on you even once, then you will grow real horns, like a ram.
We decided on this. Some time passed, the friends of the respectable citizen realized where he had disappeared to. They looked for him and he was nowhere to be found. Just some strange ram running around the village and bleating. The city citizen, it turns out, not only grew horns, but also wool and hooves, and he turned into a ram, so many times his wife cheated on him.
Let's raise our glasses, friends, so that we never become sheep.
