智者千慮, 必有一失 Homer sometimes nods.
勝不驕敗不餒 to be not elated by success nor disturbed by failure
富貴在天 Riches and honors come from heaven.
智者不惑 A wise man is free from perplexities.
無風不起浪 There is no smoke without fire. (Where there is smoke, there is fire.)
畫蛇添足 to paint the lily
趁火打劫 to fish in troubled waters
量入為出 to cut one's coat according to one's cloth/ make both ends meet
陽奉陰違 ostensible obedience
跑了和尚跑不了廟 The monk may run away, but the temple can't run with him.
萬物之靈 the lords of creation
萬事開頭難 Everything is difficult at the start
萬無一失 not a single miss in a thousand times.
落井下石 to hit a person when he's down
隔牆有耳 Pitchers have ears; walls have ears.
開夜車 / 挑燈夜戰 Burn the midnight oil.
開誠佈公 Opens one's heart to his spouse when he has a problem.
盜亦有道 Dog does not eat dog.
善有善報 One kindness is the price of another.
