No, you don't. (-; As we say in Slovak, one swallow does not make summer. Good decisions like this one are massively outnumbered by "process errors" (or whatever it is called on English) covering the asses of mafia backed by our elected government officials.
- thawkins 11y agoNot exactly a slovak saying, comes from greece From wikitionary An allusion to the return of migrating swallows at the start of the summer season. From a remark by Aristotle (384 BCE - 322 BCE): "One swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy."
- koniiiik 11y agoI don't recall claiming that this saying originates from Slovakia, only that it's one that is relatively common there. I have also heard it used in Czech, but I don't think I've ever heard it in English, hence the remark.
- jessaustin 11y agoHaha I thought we were talking about beer. Presumably "swallow" is not a homonym in Slovak or Greek.
