Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
This quote is about taking responsibility. If something goes wrong and you face problems, you need to try and find a way out. Nothing will change if you just blame circumstances, other people or yourself. Everything you need is to keep going. Sometimes it's difficult to make the right decisions, but even if you make a mistake, you can always start again. So I think this quote means that everything is in your hands.

| Write your own quotations to describe the following abstract nouns. (Perhaps you know a saying in your own language that you could translate into English?) Write an essay on the quote.
1 freedom - A person is free to go wherever they want, and they will receive help from whomever they go to.
2 love - To love is to live in another heart. Tyutchev
3 life - Life is what happens to you while you're making plans.
4 curiosity - Curiosity is not just a passing interest, but a fundamental force that drives humanity forward.
5 imagination - Logic will take you from point A to point B. Imagination will take you anywhere.
The happy human is the human who has IMAGINATION. Look at children, they all have it and they are happy. It protects people from the sorrows of real life. Imagination is a KINGDOM where IDEAS that can be turned into reality live, it helps to invent somethingthat wasn'tinvented yet. Imagination can make us laugh or help us to make others laugh. I think that imagination is a manifestation of CREATIVITY, and only a human being is endowed with creative ability. It turns out that imagination is a gift, it is a tool that must be handled properly so that it serves only for the good.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
This quote is about situations when one likes someone so much that admiring from distance is not enough anymore and they begin to copy that someone's actions. I think it may be not only mannerisms, body language and something like gestures, but also thoughts, decisions and speech.
I do not see imitation as a good thing. I think that it comes from envy and may cause A LOT OF EMBARRASSMENT for person someone's trying to imitate and I think that it may actually CREATE PROBLEMS. I know that some people like flattering, but i think imitation is so humiliating, because the person who imitate someone else may completely lost their actual self.

1 freedom — Freedom is the ability to choose your own path in life without any fear or control from other people.
2 love — Love is a strong feeling that makes you care about another person more than you care about yourself.
3 life — Life is a long journey with many unexpected changes, challenges, and happy moments.
4 curiosity — Curiosity is a powerful desire to learn about the world and find answers to difficult questions.
5 imagination — Imagination is a special ability of our mind to see things that do not exist yet in reality.
Write an essay on the quote.
I chose the quote "Do not ask advice of the ignorant". In my opinion, this quotation gives us very wise ADVICE about our daily life. When we face serious problems, we need to look for people with real KNOWLEDGE and experience. Listening to the opinions of uneducated people usually leads to a big DISAGREEMENT or a bad mistake. True WISDOM comes from studying hard and analyzing facts carefully over many years. Therefore, protecting yourself from bad opinions is always a smart DECISION for your future success.

| Better to suffer injustice than to commit it.
This quote means that doing something wrong hurts you more than being treated unfairly. If someone hurts you, your body or feelings may suffer, but your character stays clean. If you hurt someone, you become a liar or a bully. That damage inside is worse. For example, if someone steals your things, you’re angry. But if you steal, you become a thief. So yes – suffering passes. A bad character lasts longer.
1. Freedom – Freedom means nobody owns your time.
2. Love – Love is when someone else’s happiness makes you happy.
3. Life – Life is like a loan, you have to give it back at the end.
4. Curiosity – Curiosity is asking ‘why’ even when everyone is tired of it.
5. Imagination – Imagination is playing pretend without anyone telling you to stop.

| Choose a quote from exercise 73.4 and write an essay on it
"Do not ask advice of the ignorant".
This phrase means that it is irrational to ask advice of people who don't understand your issue. If a person lacks depth of knowledge or experience in this particular area, they cannot help you. The expectation of wisdom and use of such advice is quite strange. If you ask advice of an ignorant person, don't be surprised by the weakness of it and of the results you get after applying this advice. Ask only people for whom your question makes sense. Only these people can provide you with truly wise thoughts and great ideas. The conclusion is: asking for advice also requires reason.

«Better to suffer injustice than to commit it»
This quote teaches us an important lesson about morality. Injustice means treating people unfairly, and the quote says that suffering from unfair treatment is better than being the one who causes it, because when we commit injustice, we damage our own character and our soul. We lose our kindness, our sense of right and wrong. In childhood, we learn that lying or cheating hurts others, but it also hurts ourselves. To have good friendship and relationship with people, we must avoid committing injustice. A person who commits injustice loses their inner calm and damages their own consciousness. But a person who suffers unfairly but does no evil keeps their sense of dignity. That is real strength.
