奇裝異服 a fantastic garb
忠言逆耳 Honest advice is unpleasant to the ear
明辨是非 to distinguish right from wrong
知足常樂 Happy is he who is content
知足者富 He who feels contented is rich
知人知面不知心 It's easy to know men's faces, but not their hearts.
知己知彼百戰百勝 Know your enemy and know yourself.
空中樓閣 Castles in the air
金科玉律 the gold rule
雨後春筍 like bamboo shoots after a spring shower
雨過天青 After a storm comes a calm.
秀才不出門能知天下事 a scholar doesn't step outside his gate, yet he knows the happenings under the sun.
杯水車薪 a drop in the bucket
事實勝於雄辯 Facts are most convincing.
來得容易去得快 Easy come, easy go.
金玉其外敗絮其中 All that glitters is not gold.
兔子不吃窩邊草 The fox preys farthest from his hole.
若要人不知除非己莫為 If you would not be known to do anything, never do it.
沒有笑臉不出門 A man without a smiling face must not open a shop.
虎父無虎子 Like father, like son.
往者不可諫，來者猶可追 A mill cannot grind with the water that is past.
物以類聚, 人以群分 Birds of a feather flock together.
英雄所見略同 Great minds think alike.
於事無補 Complaining is of little (no) avail. It is better for you to take action now.
