Where is a will there is a way -поговорка |
Всемирна помойка говорит по-другому: where there's a will, there's a way If one really wants to do something, one can. For example, Max has no idea of how to get the money to repair his boat, but where there's a will. This proverb was stated slightly differently in 1640 (To him that will, ways are not wanting) but has been repeated in its present form since the early 1800s. It is so well known it is often shortened, as in the example. The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer. Copyright © 2003, 1997 by The Christine Ammer 1992 Trust.

:) will - не совсем то, что 'желание' Так что, это - аналог с натяжкой. |
"A man who wants something will find a way; a man who doesn't will find an excuse." (с сайта http://dailygleaner.canadaeast.com/opinion/article/751944) |
Всем спасибо! Хочется максимально приблизиться к оригиналу,пожалуй,остановлюсь на таком варианте- A man who wants something will find one hundred ways; a man who doesn't will find one hundred excuses |
