爱屋及乌Love me, love my dog.

百闻不如一见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

笨鸟先飞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

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

不打不成交No discord1, no concord2.

拆东墙补西墙rob Peter to pay Paul

辞旧迎新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

大长见识open ones eyes; broaden4 ones horizon; be an eye-opener

国泰民安The country flourishes and people live in peace

过犹不及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

功夫不负有心人Everything comes to him who waits.

好了伤疤忘了疼once on shore, one prays no more

好事不外出，恶事传千里Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spread far and wide.

和气生财Harmony brings wealth

活到老，学到老One is never too old to learn.

既往不咎let bygones be bygones

金无足赤,人无完人Gold cant be pure and man cant be perfect.

金玉满堂Treasures fill the home

踏踏实实be down-to-earth

脚踩两只船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
