一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳 once bite, twice shy
自扫门前雪 after us the deluge
情人眼里出西施 love is blind
你敬我一尺，我回你一丈 you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours
别狗咬吕洞宾，不识好人心 don't bite the hand that feeds you
三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮 two heads are better than one
有钱能使鬼推磨 money makes the world go round
关公门前耍大刀 there is no need to teach a fish to swim
过犹不及 more is not always better
牛牵到北京还是牛 the leopard can not change its spots
鲜花插在牛粪上 it is like casting pearls before swine
天有不测风云 nothing is certain but death and taxes
半斤八两 the pot calls the kettle black
温故而知新 look for the old so as to learn the new
头发开眼界短 long hair little brains
谋事在人，成事在天 man proposes, god disposes
欲速则不达 the more haste, the less speed
新官上任三把火 a new broom sweeps clean
隔墙有耳 walls have ears
刮目相看 to sit up and look
人靠衣装 the tailor makes the man
说曹操，曹操到 talk of an angle and you will hear his wings
远亲不如近邻a near neighbor is better than a kin living a far
