| a full belly is a happy belly (Анна Ф); the rich don't know how the other half lives | |||
| the well-fed don't understand the hungry | |||
| the bird who has eaten cannot fly with the bird that is hungry; a man with a full belly thinks no one is hungry (usually used reproachfully to mean: a person who does not have certain problems (needs, troubles, etc) cannot fully understand others who have such problems and suffer now); he whose belly is full, believes not him who is fasting; it is ill speaking between a full man and a fasting; the well-fed cannot understand the hungry; sated men the hungry don't ken; he that is warm thinks all so (дословно: Тот, кому тепло, думает, что и всем таково) | |||
| the rich don't know how the other half lives | |||
