a snow year, a rich year.
瑞雪兆豐年。
a sound mind in a sound body.
健全的`精神寓於健康的身體。
a still tongue makes a wise head.
寡言者智。
be swift to hear, slow to speak.
聽宜敏捷，言宜緩行。
better late than never.
不怕慢，單怕站。
better to ask the way than go astray.
問路總比迷路好。
a rolling stone gathers no moss.
滾石不生苔，轉業不聚財。
as a man sows, so he shall reap.
種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆。
a single flower does not make a spring.
一花獨放不是春，百花齊放春滿園。
between friends all is common.
朋友之間不分彼此。
birds of a feather flock together.
物以類聚，人以羣分。
blood is thicker than water.
血濃於水。
blood will have blood.
a stitch in time saves nine.
小洞不補，大洞吃苦。
a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe.
身正不怕影子斜。
a wise head makes a close mouth.
真人不露相，露相非真人。
a word spoken is past recalling.
一言既出，駟馬難追。
a year's plan starts with spring.
一年之計在於春。
a young idler, an old beggar.
少壯不努力，老大徒傷悲。
bad news has wings.
好事不出門，壞事傳千里。
barking dogs seldom bite.
吠犬不咬人。
beauty lies in the love's eyes.
情人眼裏出西施。
