A young idler, an old beggar. 少壯不努力，老大徒傷悲。

　　Behind the mountains there are people to be found. 天外有天，山外有山。

　　Bad luck often brings good luck. 塞翁失馬，安知非福。

　　Bread is the stall of life. 面包是生命的支柱。(民以食為天。)

　　Business is business. 公事公辦。

　　Haste makes waste. 欲速則不達。(忙中常出錯。)

　　He that promises too much means nothing. 輕諾者寡信。

　　He who has an art has everywhere a part. 一招鮮，吃遍天。

　　He would climb the ladder must begin at the bottom. 千里之行始于足下。

　　Home is where the heart is. 心在哪里，哪里就是家。

　　If you are not inside a house, you don not know about its leaking. 不在屋里，不知漏雨。(親身經歷才有體會。)

　　In peace prepare for war. 平時準備戰時。(居安思危。)

　　It is never too late to mend. 亡羊補牢，猶未為晚。

　　It six of one and half a dozen of the other. 彼此彼此。

　　Just has long arms. 天網恢恢，疏而不漏。

　　Keep something for a rainy day. 未雨綢繆。
