I saw in default gnome theme icons when I clicked right the mouse. The icons are very useful for orientation in the menu.
See the picture below. How can I add some icons to standard ubuntu theme?
If there no icon pack how can I add my own icons?

You can enable this option (It's disabled by default) in the configuration manager. This should be available through Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Manager (The System Tools menu may be hidden - you can make it visible by going to System -> Preferences -> Main Menu and selecting the checkbox next to System Tools, and possibly the one next to Configuration Editor in side the System Tools menu). Alternatively you can run gconf-tool
from the command line.
You'll need to navigate to desktop -> gnome -> interface
Select menus_have_icons
and check the box.
If you want the quick one liner you can enter the following in your terminal
gconftool --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons 0
This is the outcome
See comment 4 for bug 974915 "Nautilus Context menu missing icons".

icons for most components got turned off like 2 years ago, they are only there in menu for objects like applications or directories, not for actions etc

it's not a bug, it's a design decision
But the following tip works!
Alt+F2
→ run gnome-tweak-toolAlt+F2
→ r For ubuntu 12.04 to 15.04+
To enable menu have icons, run:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface menus-have-icons true
To enable button have icons, run:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface buttons-have-icons true
To do it graphically install dconf-editor
or dconf-tools
I don't know how to add your own icons. I suppose you would need to create your own theme. But just to add on what everyone has been saying (how to turn on the icons in menu), there is my input...
If you use "Cinnamon" desktop, you can use cinnamon-settings
Go to Appearance > Themes
Tab Settings
Miscellaneous options
