money talks Explanation: دارندگی means "being rich", دارا = rich /dArandegi/ - /dArA/ برازندگی = propriety برازنده adj. = graceful It means that one who is rich can have expensive things of great quality and can do thing the poor cannot! a similar proverb is: "a golden key opens every door" and in Farsi: بی زر بی پَر One who has no money (gold) has no feather to fly! a nice verse: ای زر تو خدا نه ای ولیکن بخدا ستار العیوب و قاضی الحاجاتی literal meaning: oh Gold, you are not God, but by God, you are the cover for all deficiencies and provider of all needs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2011-05-23 08:54:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Please visit: http://akaskhooneh.persianblog.ir/post/1681 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2011-05-23 08:55:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.donya-e-eqtesad.com/Default_view.asp?@=64572 http://www.tuningtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3209 |
