Uncategorized Japanese proverb: 二兎を追う者は一兎をも得ず (“He who chases after two rabbits will catch neither.”) Bluesky Standard
Tim Marinin July 23, 2024 The same proverb exists in Russian; I didn’t realize that it doesn’t exist in English (if I understood you correctly)
Ryan July 23, 2024 One English corollary might be “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Not the same, but related.
Ayo Ayco July 24, 2024 @snarfed.org Very nice, I will use this :) a Chinese proverb I like: “You cannot kill a mosquito with a canon.”
