It is not enough to be born as a person, they need to remain. Eduard Asadov

Eduard Asadov (1923-2004)

Who will gain honesty and wisdom,
That, right, will never disappear:
'Cause honesty keeps promises
And wisdom... Never gives them!

Is a bad, good bird born -
She is still destined to fly.
It won't happen to a human.
It is not enough to be born as a human
They still need to be.

Love is not built alone
After all, happiness is built in half.
If the current does not go through two wires,
That even the lamp does not light up.

From grief, as from a swamp -
Rush forward quickly!
Don't wait for someone to take it out
A swamp is always a swamp:
Hold on - suck!

People are looking for connections. And this is quite understandable.
I subdivide the advantages of interlocutors in this way:
If a great storyteller is quite a rarity,
That excellent listener is doubly rare.

Words... Are we in a hurry with them somewhere?
As simple as "I love you!", for example, to say.
It only takes a second,
But a whole life to justify it.

Among all the awards, our thoughtful age
Has not yet established a medal:
"TRUTH AND HEART MAN".
It's a pity!

You often sigh: - It's easy for fools,
They live without clouds! -
Or you say in your hearts: - It's good for scoundrels,
They always succeed!

Of course, the road of a fool is easy,
But don't lie to yourself:
You settle for the life of a fool
With that cloudless fate?

And you agree to become a scoundrel,
To rob, drown someone?
Why are you standing there with an angry face?

"One for all and all for one"!
It's easy to say. But if you figure it out
That one for all will not break,
Whereas all for one rise
It costs almost nothing!

In any business with maximum complexity
The approach to the problem is still the same:
Desire is a multitude of possibilities,
And reluctance - many reasons.

Lovers, in their eternal aspirations,
They dream of sharing love in two.
But this is only partly the case.
Of course, I do not know the reasons for all,
But more often unequal parts come out -
More one and less the other.

And it's strange that most of it takes
The one who gives the least.

According to the first movement of the soul
Do not write angry or passionate letters,
To regret cruelly did not have to,
When happiness or anger cools down.

The fish goes bad from the head.
This truth is wise and simple.
But don't be too quick to joke. Alas,
Though the fish spoils from the head,
However, they clean it from the tail.

Don't try to crush my star
And constantly dominate in decisions.
Understand: I yield only in everyday life,
I emphasize: only in everyday life,
But never in lines and convictions.

***
It takes courage to fight the enemy
Strength, fearlessness and nobility of spirit,
And these same qualities - only in double size -
In case you have to fight with a friend.

From the words of love ringing head.
They are both beautiful and very fragile.
However, love is not only words,
Love is, first of all, actions.

And nobody needs loopholes here.
Prove feelings and - the whole secret.
But if there are no cases behind words,
Love your cost three pennies!

I fell ill, but I overcame the disease.
And everyone is happy, I must admit:
Enemies are happy that they got sick,
Friends same those, that began to recover.
Well, I'm happy to share mine
I love making people happy!

Two doctors are somehow smart and sensible
The patient was examined in the hospital.
One decided to ask the other
After rubbing the patient's stomach:
- Well, colleague, will we treat?
- Do not. Let him live!

- You do not love me! the wife said.
The husband whistled in response: - Here you are!
If your character for so many years I endure.
You can be calm, I love you devilishly!

An old man praying for a goldfish.
I made the biggest mistake:
He would not serve a greedy grandmother
And do not ask for a trough and nobility,
Boyar house and fairy-tale kingdom,
And ask the new old woman!

The father congratulated his son on his birthday:
- You're seventeen. Well, quite big!
Well, you'll get permission in a year.
On the "sins" of adults: on smoking
And a glass of wine, my dear!

The son looked thoughtfully out the window:
- Thank you, dad, for the words of greetings,
But cigarettes, vodka and wine -
It's been three years since I gave it all up.

Though everyone knows that man is mortal,
But you don't have to worry about me.
After all, with my terrible insomnia
It's impossible for me to fall asleep forever!

They say: "Dashing trouble - the beginning!"
The husband stands with a smile on his face:
There were three scandals after the wedding.
If really dashing trouble is the beginning,
What will happen, my God, in the end?!

From grief, as from a swamp, -
Rush always forward!
Don't wait for someone to take it out.
A swamp is always a swamp -
Hold on - it sucks!

Eduard Asadov is a famous Soviet poet with a very difficult fate. Born in intelligent family of teachers and after graduating from school, a young man of 17 years old thought about the choice between theater and literary universities. But a week later, the Second World War began and he volunteered to go to the front.

At the age of 21, in one of the battles near Sevastopol, he lost his sight forever. But even then, losing consciousness and overcoming pain, Asadov completed his combat mission. He spent the rest of his life in complete darkness, wearing a black blindfold.

Despite the huge number of troubles and hardships in his difficult life, Eduard Asadov managed to preserve the kindness, faith and love that all his poems are saturated with:

How easy it is to offend a person!
He took and threw a phrase angrier than pepper.
And then sometimes a century is not enough,
To return the offended heart!

==================================

When I meet evil in people,
For a long time I try to believe
That this is most likely a pretense,
That this is an accident. And I'm wrong.

==================================

Is it a bad, good bird is born,
She is still destined to fly.
It won't happen to a human.
It is not enough to be born as a human
They still need to be.

==================================

In any case, with a maximum of difficulties,
The approach to the problem is still the same:
Desire is a multitude of possibilities,
And reluctance - a thousand reasons!

==================================

Don't let the feelings run out
Never get used to happiness.

==================================

Who knows how to be happy on weekdays,
He really is a happy man!

==================================

Try in the human mind
Define a logical point:
We laugh, as a rule, in the company,
But we often suffer alone.

==================================

And you humbled strict pride,
Trying to overcome your ways?
And you loved so that even the name
Did it hurt you to say it out loud?

==================================

Don't hug anyone
Not everything is good that comes easy!

Accidents do not exist: people are given to us either as an example of the right life, or as a warning.

======================================================================================================

How little a person needs!
One letter. There is only one thing.
And there is no more rain over the wet garden,
And outside the window is no longer dark ...

==================================

Be kind, don't be angry, be patient.
Remember: from your bright smiles
Not only your mood depends,
But a thousand times the mood of others.

==================================

And even if asked a hundred times,
I will stubbornly say a hundred times:
That there is no abandoned woman,
It just hasn't been found yet.

==================================

Words ... Are we in a hurry with them somewhere?
How easy it is to say "I love you!"
It only takes a second,
Ho a whole life to justify it.

==================================

Never get used to happiness!
On the contrary, light illuminated by burning,
Look at your love always
With lively and constant surprise.

==================================

And let any difficulties meet,
And sometimes the blizzards hit again and again,
Literally all problems are solved
When there is the main thing in the hearts: love!

==================================
P.S. I heard these lines so often “How many of those with whom you can go to bed ...”, as in the picture ... But only now I found out that these verses belong to E. Asadov.

The fate of the Soviet lyricist Eduard Asadov was not very easy. Coming from an intelligent family, after graduating from school, young Eduard was faced with a choice of which university to give preference to literary or theatrical. But all plans were changed by the outbreak of the Second World War, to which he volunteered.

Very young, at the age of 21, in a battle near Sevastopol, he was wounded, which forever deprived him of his sight. In this battle, he completed his combat mission, even being already wounded, losing consciousness. He spent the rest of his life without seeing the light, with a black patch over his eyes.

Having gone through a difficult path of hardships and troubles in his difficult life, Eduard Asadov remained a kind person. His love, humanity and kindness can be traced in all his poems.

How easy it is to offend a person!
He took and threw a phrase angrier than pepper.
And then sometimes a century is not enough,
To return the offended heart!
