Thread: "A picture is worth a thousand words" in Russian?

Hello everybody.

Can anyone translate the sentence "A picture is worth a thousand words" for me?
Or is there some Russian saying which means more or less the same?

I would like it translated in cyrillic, if possible.

Thank you very much.

Одна картинка стоит тысячи слов.

Hello,

There is an exact Russian analog of this saying:

Лучше 1 раз увидеть, чем 100 раз услышать.

Luchshe 1 raz uvidet', chem 100 raz uslishat'.

Literally: It's better to see something once, rather than to hear about it 100 times.

And we usually write it in this way:
Лучше один раз увидеть, чем сто раз услышать.

Just wanted to reduce the quantity of foreign words for him wherever possible. I guess I shouldn't have though...
