Μία χελιδόνα δεν φέρνει την άνοιξη

Attributed to Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics: 'One swallow does not make a summer.' The Greek original uses 'spring' (anoixi) rather than 'summer,' reflecting the Mediterranean climate where spring's arrival is the major seasonal transition. Still used daily in modern Greek.
