Winged words are stable figurative combinations that have come into use from various sources: folklore, scientific papers, sayings prominent figures, names of famous events. They constantly appear, but later they can be forgotten or remain forever.

Millennia have experienced some popular expressions. Examples can be cited from antiquity, where only specialists know the authors. Few can say that the phrase "there is no dispute about tastes" is a quote from Cicero's speech.

The emergence of winged words

Expression " winged words"First appeared in the poems of Homer. As a term, it has passed into many languages. The collection of catch phrases was first published in the 19th century in Germany. He subsequently went through many editions.

Due to the stability and reproducibility, winged words belong to phraseology, but their author's origin allowed them to take their special place among other means of speech. When the words are rearranged, the phraseological construction is destroyed and general meaning is lost. Also, there is no sense in each word taken separately from the expression. It is the combination that makes them special.

Winged phrases and expressions accumulate and remain due to the development of civilization. They remain in cultural memory only thanks to writing.

Wise phrases have always been written down and preserved for posterity.

Winged expressions and aphorisms

A good aphorism briefly and figuratively conveys to us the causes of many phenomena in life and at the same time gives moral advice. He is exquisite literary work, packed into one phrase. It is no coincidence that Chekhov said that brevity is the sister of talent.

The aphorisms of ancient philosophers that survived millennia explained a lot that was not yet discovered by science. The meaning of these catch phrases has been preserved in its former form and civilization has managed to preserve them.

Moreover, science has confirmed the truth of most of them.

Not all aphorisms are catch phrases. Numerous examples can be cited, and many of the aphorisms are taken away into the world of illusions and abstractions. A catch phrases are alive and more reflective of the realities of life. Therefore, they are especially important when they just appear, vividly and figuratively reflecting today's events and phenomena.

Winged expressions from works

The works of Pushkin, Krylov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov are a treasure trove of winged expressions. Their repetition does not always produce the desired effect. But they need to be known and applied according to the situation:

“It didn't work out that way, to put it mildly,
When decisions are missed a minute.
We learn from mistakes for a reason,
And croaking with cheese in its beak is cool! "

The evolution of catchphrases transforms them and brings them closer to modern realities: "Now the impression cannot be blotted out", "Your common sense is not suitable for this life."

They can be created in the process of translation and adaptation to our society.

There are 61 catch phrases in Shakespeare's Hamlet. The writer deliberately created a pun and a play on words: "Filth, your name is a woman." The expression was obtained based on the violation of linearity. If it had been built in the usual way, no one would have paid attention to it. He uses pun, inversion and other techniques so skillfully that special meaning and irony emerge from the sets of words.

Ilfa and Petrova are famous and often used catchwords in the media. Examples are from The Golden Calf and The Twelve Chairs, which include the names of characters and sayings.

The catch phrases in the works of Ilf and Petrov have long become speech cliches, ready-made standards. This is a wide field for the creativity of writers, journalists and just amateurs. It is important not only to deftly insert the desired phrase, but to present it in a new perspective, from a different angle. You must not only know the catchwords and words, but also be able to use them, creating something of your own.

Idioms enrich the text, strengthen the argumentation and attract the attention of the readers.

Winged expressions in comedies

Comic effects create catchphrases from comedies. The work of Griboyedov is especially saturated with them, where the name "Woe from Wit" already sets the whole tone. It has remained relevant to this day, when many minds cannot break through the mass of misunderstandings, and new ideas are considered completely unnecessary and dangerous for society. For some heroes of the comedy, an alternative to the mind is iron discipline (“You can't fool me with learning” - Skalozub), for others it just brings harm (“Learning is the plague ...” - Famusov). In this comedy, it is not known whether to laugh or cry?

Cinema is a source of catch phrases

V Soviet time cinema was one of the most widespread sources, from which catch phrases and expressions poured out as from Them were immediately picked up by the people, for example, after the release of Gaidai's films. They have become so popular that many do not even remember which of the heroes pronounced them. The most of Gaidai's comedies entered our life and became winged:

• “Everything has already been stolen before us”;
• "Thank you, I will stand on foot ...";
• “Train better on cats”;
• "We are strangers at this celebration of life."

Conclusion

The sayings of the classics of literature, philosophers, famous people... This for the most part idioms. Examples can be found in collections that have been published continuously since the 19th century. Winged expressions remain in the memory of peoples and are multiplied thanks to writing and the development of culture.

The vocation of every person in spiritual activity is in a constant search for truth and the meaning of life.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Man is what he believes in.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Respect for a person is a condition without which there is no progress for us ...

To be human is to feel responsible. Feel ashamed in front of poverty, which, it would seem, does not depend on you. Be proud of every victory won by your comrades. Realize that by laying bricks you are helping to build the world.

Do you care about the future? Build today. You can change everything. Grow a cedar forest on a barren plain. But it is important that you do not construct cedars, but plant seeds.

That which constitutes the dignity of the world can be saved only on one condition: remembering about it. And the dignity of the world is compassion, love for knowledge and respect for the inner man.

A person is driven primarily by motives that cannot be seen with the eyes. The spirit guides the person.

Apuleius

Each person is a separate definite personality, which will not be a second time. People differ in the very essence of the soul; their similarity is only superficial. The more someone becomes by himself, the deeper he begins to understand himself, the clearer his distinctive features appear.

Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov

The human mind is like a skein of tangled silk; first of all, you must carefully find the end of the thread in order to untangle it.

Walter Scott

The strength of the spirit makes a person invincible; fearlessness is, figuratively speaking, the eyes of human nobility. A fearless person sees good and evil not only with his eyes, but also with his heart; he cannot indifferently pass by misfortune, grief, humiliation of human dignity.

Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky

It is much more accurate to judge a person by his dreams than by his thoughts.

The future has several names. For a weak person the name of the future is impossibility. For the faint-hearted - the unknown. For the thoughtful and valiant - the ideal. The need is urgent, the task is great, the time has come. Forward to the victory!

Man was created not to drag chains, but to soar above the ground with his wings wide open.

For a person to move forward, he must constantly have before him on the heights glorious examples of courage.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

When all roads come to a dead end, when all illusions are destroyed, when not a single ray of the sun shines on the horizon, a spark of hope remains in the depths of every person's soul.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

When a ceremony is performed in the soul of a person, when he feels that the name, image, virtue, and everything connected with God live in his own heart, when the service is performed in this place human body where the human comes into contact with the divine, then the boundaries of religions are erased, and the Higher Intuition allows us to see the radiance of the one God.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

A new miracle that needs to be added to the list of traditional ones is the miracle of being a man whose feet are on the ground, and his head rises to the starry sky.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Only human consciousness is able to overcome the path from the diversity of things to Unity. It ascends and descends, descends and ascends, linking these two extremes of the manifestation of life.

Delia Steinberg Guzman

Man is born, grows, flourishes, weakens and dies. Despite his blindness, he nevertheless admits that his death is not absolute, as in general nothing in nature completely freezes. He does not realize that, as soon as the time comes, he, too, will be reborn with the same ease with which trees do it. He cannot pretend to be reborn in the same body, but trees do not need the same leaves that were on them last summer. Our bodies are leaves, but the roots remain the same, as the soul lives forever.

The significance of a person is determined not by what he achieved, but rather the what he dares to achieve. Gibran Khalil Gibran True Light is the one that comes from within a person and reveals the secrets of the heart to the soul, making it happy and at ease with life.

A person struggles to find life outside himself, not realizing that the life he is looking for is within him.

A person who is limited in heart and thoughts tends to love what is limited in life. A person with limited vision cannot see beyond one cubit length on the road on which he is walking, or on the wall against which he rests with his shoulder.

Whatever it takes, you must act on the truth and must not do what is untrue, no matter what an ignorant person thinks or says about you.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

It often happens that a person considers happiness to be far from himself, but it has already come to him with inaudible steps.

Giovanni Boccaccio

The less a person thinks about himself, the less unhappy he is.

Johnson

After all, the human heart also has two peaks that grow from a single root; equally in spiritual sense from one passion of the heart two opposites flow, hatred and love, just as Mount Parnassus has a single base under two peaks.

Catherine II

While our hearts are filled with thoughts of a small group of several “I's”, near and dear to us, what remains in our soul for the rest of humanity?

May every burning human tear fall into the depths of your heart, and may it abide there: do not remove it until the sadness that gave birth to it is removed.

Debt is something that must be given to humanity, our loved ones, our neighbors, our family, and, above all, what we owe to all those who are poorer and more defenseless than us. This is our duty, and failure to fulfill it during our life makes us spiritually untenable and leads to a state of moral collapse in our future incarnation.

Everyone is given the opportunity to walk from peak to peak and cooperate with nature to achieve the obvious goal of life. The spiritual "I" of a person moves in eternity like a pendulum swinging between the periods of life and death. This "I" is an actor, and his numerous incarnations are the roles he plays.

A real person is one who does not give up his words.

A person is born for great deeds when he has the strength to conquer himself.

Jean Baptiste Massillon

A noble person is above resentment, injustice, grief, ridicule; he would be invulnerable if he were alien to compassion.

Jean de La Bruyère

Happy, thrice happy is the person who is hardened by the hardships of life.

The person who never gives anything, conquer with gifts; subdue the treacherous by faithfulness; humble the wrathful with meekness; a evil person overcome with kindness.

Indian wisdom

The greatest merit of man remains, of course, that as much as possible he determines the circumstances and as little as possible allows them to determine himself.

Give the person a purpose worth living for and they can survive in any situation.

You cannot always be a hero, but you can always remain human.

A distinctive feature of a person is to want to start everything all over again ...

A person's greatest wealth is a state of mind strong enough not to desire any riches.

Man lives real life, if happy with someone else's happiness.

A person with faith and presence of mind wins even in the most difficult endeavors, but as soon as he succumbs to the most insignificant doubt, and he perishes.

A person grows as his goals grow.

Johann Friedrich Schiller

Only by fulfilling its best dreams can humanity move forward.

Confucius

He who is human gives others support, wanting to have it himself, and helps them achieve success, wanting to achieve it himself.

Confucius

To respect every person as to ourselves, and to act with him as we wish to be treated with us - there is nothing higher than this.

Confucius

Do what you think is honest without expecting any glory for it; remember that a foolish person is a bad judge of good deeds.

The true strength of a person is not in impulses, but in an inviolable calm striving for good, which he establishes in thoughts, expresses in words and leads in actions.

The human soul is a storehouse, not accessible to everyone, and it is impossible to rely on the apparent similarity of some signs.

Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol

The purpose of man is to serve, and our whole life is service. It is only necessary not to forget that a place was taken in the earthly state in order to serve on it the Heavenly Sovereign and therefore to bear in mind His law.

On the day when humanity meets its destiny, which it itself has created over the past few centuries, when all the blood accumulated by long suffering will rain before the eyes of its future leaders, the fate of ancient religions, in whose temples cattle graze today, will seem welcome and bright like the morning sun.

There are two things that only man is capable of: laughter and prayer; when these two values ​​- a sense of humor and religion - are lost - a person reaches the state of an animal.

We are travelers. And after long wanderings, enriched with impressions, albeit covered with scars - traces of countless adventures, we go to where we left. We yearn for new distances, our eyes, like hawks, peer into the horizon, and dry lips whisper: "Let's go home!"

We must look for our essence, our human origins, our inner strength, their potentials. And just as we bathe to cleanse our body, we must bathe in the mysterious light of philosophy in order to cleanse our soul.

A true idealist is a person whose height does not depend on his physical growth, but on the grandeur of his dreams. The horizons opening up to him are outlined not by mountains, but by his faith in himself.

The new man whom we proclaim and to whom we appeal is young at heart; he is the bearer and guardian of hope, he has eternal power to remain optimistic, enthusiastic and able to do what you want. He can fulfill his dreams, he understands and respects the differences that exist between people, for he has a deep respect for people themselves and for the world. Genuine humanity is inherent in him.

The difference between a person and an animal is that he has faith that he lives inner life that his eyes fill with tears at the sight of the sunset and that he is able to read poetry, understand it and pass it on to other people. A man, unlike an animal, does not consider strength to be the highest dignity, he seeks to help the weak.

Knowing himself, a person knows his divine essence and recognizes it wherever he wants to see it.

Happy are those who live, those who truly live, who carry in themselves a grain of hope, from which the whole world will grow - the world of hope, new world, which will be better than before.

Three virtues adorn the soul: beauty, wisdom and love. A person should honor and strive to comprehend them.

Man has the magnitude of what he dares to do.
