Коль любить, так без рассудку, Коль грозить, так не на шутку, Коль ругнуть, так сгоряча, Коль рубнуть, так уж с плеча! Коли спорить, так уж смело, Коль карать, так уж за дело, Коль простить, так всей душой, Коли пир, так пир горой!

If you love, then do it madly, if you threaten, then do it seriously, if you curse, then do it angrily, if you chop, then do it straight from the shoulder! If you argue, then do it boldly, if you punish, then do it fairly, if you forgive, then do it generously, and if there’s a feast, then make it lavish!
