Aug 19, 2016 at 8:34 comment added Aki Hi @naruto: 三人寄れば文殊の知恵 seems indeed good enough. As there does not seem to be anything close would you please post it as an answer?
Aug 9, 2016 at 20:46 comment added HizHa I tried to add a [Proverb] tag, and was told that the tag doesn't exist. Very odd.
Apr 18, 2016 at 14:14 comment added user1478 This is probably another case of "not an actual Japanese proverb" :-(
Apr 18, 2016 at 11:04 comment added Avery The attribution to Talleyrand in the English.SE answer seems most likely to be correct to me, since this doesn't sound as mellifluous in Japanese.
Apr 18, 2016 at 11:02 comment added naruto The page virmaior linked says it's from ミッチェル・ノラン, who seems to be a British judge in the 20th century. And according to this question, this proverb(?) seems to originate from Western countries somewhere in the 18-19th century. I doubt there is a Japanese traditional proverb which is widely recognized and can be directly translated to this, although there is a similar one.
