Dosť bolo útlaku nebude Slovák viac padať do kľaku. Explanation: z internetu www.mamtalent.cz/na-pamiatku-hrdinom-snp.phtml vynechajte Slovak a skuste si to nejako upravit (nebudem viac padat do klaku...) Pavel pise o trpezlivosti hosi "obedience" = poslusnost, podriadenost, ni je trpezlivost, ale skuste ... Trpezlivost ma svoje hranice s tym je tu dalsia moznost "Nemylte si nasu trpezlivost so zbabelostou" (L. Stur) Horatius " Na vsetko jestvuje sposob, ale svetko ma svoje hranice". S upravami na nieco pridete.... The worm has turned - something that you say when someone has always been weak and obedient starts to behave more confidently or take control of a situation" The mataphor originated in the 16th c. and is best known for its appearance in Shakespeare play: "The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on." |
