be swift to hear, slow to speak.
听宜敏捷，言宜缓行。
better late than never.
不怕慢，单怕站。
better to ask the way than go astray.

between friends all is common.
朋友之间不分彼此。
birds of a feather flock together.

blood will have blood.
a stitch in time saves nine.
小洞不补，大洞吃苦。
a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe.
身正不怕影子斜。
a wise head makes a close mouth.
真人不露相，露相非真人。
a word spoken is past recalling.
一言既出，驷马难追。
a year's plan starts with spring.
一年之计在于春。
a young idler, an old beggar.

beauty lies in the love's eyes.
情人眼里出西施。
