≅ своя пазуха ближче
всякому своє рило мило
всяке б хотіло, щоб до нього мазаним
всякий за себе дбає
чоловік собі не ворог
курка що гребе, то все на себе
брат братом, сват сватом – а гроші не рідня
хоч ми брати, але наші кишені не сестри
всякому своя сорочка ближче до тіла
кожна ручка собі горне
кожна рука до себе крива
всякий чорт на своє коло воду тягне
своє золото і в попелі видно
blood is thicker than water
charity begins at home
