愛屋及烏Love me, love my dog.

百聞不如一見Seeing is believing.

比上不足，比下有余worse off than some, better off than many; to fall short of the best, but be better than the worst

笨鳥先飛A slow sparrow should make an early start.

不眠之夜white night

不以物喜，不以己悲not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personnal losses

盡心竭力spare no effort; go all out; do ones best

不打不成交No discord1, no concord2.

拆東墻補西墻rob Peter to pay Paul

辭舊迎新bid farewell to the old and usher3 in the new; ring out the old year and ring in the new

大事化小，小事化了try first to make their mistake sound less serious and then to reduce it to nothing at all

大長見識open ones eyes; broaden4 ones horizon; be an eye-opener

國泰民安The country flourishes and people live in peace

過猶不及going too far is as bad as not going far enough; beyond is as wrong as falling short; too much is as bad as too little

功夫不負有心人Everything comes to him who waits.

好了傷疤忘了疼once on shore, one prays no more

好事不外出，惡事傳千里Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spread far and wide.

和氣生財Harmony brings wealth

活到老，學到老One is never too old to learn.

既往不咎let bygones be bygones

金無足赤,人無完人Gold cant be pure and man cant be perfect.

金玉滿堂Treasures fill the home

踏踏實實be down-to-earth

腳踩兩只船sit on the fence

君子之交淡如水the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as crystal; a hedge between keeps friendship green
