a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Nó đến từ đâu

Calque of Latin plus valet in manibus avis unica quam dupla silvis (“a single bird in the hands is worth more than two in the forest”), possibly deriving from sources as old as the ancient Middle East, with the 6th century BCE Proverbs of Ahiqar including "a sparrow in thy hand is better than a thousand sparrows flying".

proverb

  1. A sure thing is preferable to the mere chance at something more. It is more sykyr a bryd in youre fyste Than to have thre in the sky above

    Tương tự: better an egg today than a hen tomorrow, take the cash and let the credit go
