Match English and Russian proverbs about love:
Love laughs at locksmiths
Far from eye far from heart
Love is blind
Love conquers all
All is fair in love and war
To be head over ears on love
Love and a cough cannot be hid
Love at first sight
Love cannot be compelled
Love in a cottage
Love is never without jealousy
Love is the reward of love
Love will creep where it may go
Ответная любовь- лучшая награда
Любовь на замок не запрешь
Любовь слепа
В любви и на войне все средства хороши
Любви да кашля не утаишь
С милым рай и в шалаше
Любовь с первого взгляда
Любви все возрасты покорны
Насильно мил не будешь
Нет любви без ревности
С глаз долой- из сердца вон
Для любви нет преград
Быть влюбленным по уши
