learn_russianWhat is the Russian original for:
"Better to see once than hear a hundred/thousand times."
"You are as many times a person as many languages you know."
Thank you for your help!
Edit: Okay, it seems the second one is not Russian. Could it be Ukrainian? Is there a chance it's neither but it's borrowed from something else?
