Example: He was not very talkative, he was elegant without exaggeration, and at the same time bold and self-reliant, as none of us were. — Он был не слишком разговорчив, без преувеличения элегантен, и в то же время дерзок и самонадеян, как ни один из нас.
Synonyms: independent, self-sufficient, on one's own, self-assured

2. I couldn't agree more. - Полностью согласен.
3. Yes, absolutely. - Да, конечно.
4. I'd go along with that. - Я бы согласился с этим.
5. You've got a point there. - В этом Вы правы.
6. I couldn't have put it better myself. - Я бы сам не смог сказать лучше.
7. Great minds think alike. - Великие умы мыслят одинаково.
