When we reach a higher level in English, we have a desire to discuss serious topics related to philosophy, politics, society. In deep conversations, many people like to appeal to the opinions of famous personalities. As you know, a reference to authority always contributes to the conviction of the interlocutor, helps to correctly build the argument and express your thoughts. Therefore, at a certain stage of learning English, you decide to learn some quotes in English. In principle, it will be easy for someone who has a good level of language to translate some familiar aphorisms from Russian. But here it is important to understand that the translation you made may not be accurate, but from that unusual hearing of the English speaker, and any slightest mistake often completely distorts the meaning. That is why some statements are better to remember immediately in English.

To make it easier for you to learn quotes in English, choose those phrases that are close to you. If the statement seems meaningless and at odds with the student's personal beliefs, then it is unlikely to be remembered quickly. Think of famous people who inspire you. It is to their statements that it is worth turning first of all. Then you can remember your favorite books, movies, characters. It is known that people who read a lot often turn into a "collection of aphorisms". Hence the conclusion: if you want to look intellectual in the eyes of a foreign interlocutor, read as much literature as possible in the original. Movies and series are good too. Revisiting in the original favorite episodes from the same "Sherlock", "Game of Thrones", "Peaky Blinders", we involuntarily remember the significant statements of the characters. Music videos are especially good in this regard. Phrases from your favorite English songs are deposited in memory by themselves, without any effort on our part.

When you start looking for quotes with meaning in English with a translation into Russian, you will probably find that many of the statements you hear are not the first time. The thing is that the smart thoughts of famous personalities or characters, for the most part, are universal for the whole world, and not just for the US or the UK. This is especially true for universal human values, such as friendship, love, beauty, the meaning of life. It is possible that some statement by Winston Churchill regarding the recovery of the British economy after the Second World War will not be translated into Russian. On the other hand, the politician's phrases on the topic of success will be widely used in our country. Many interesting thoughts can be gleaned from ancient Greek thinkers.

And here is a list of famous sayings in English with translation, many of which you are probably familiar with:

Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something. - Wise people speak because they have something to say, fools - because they have to say something. Plato
