The frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean. 坐井觀天。

The fox preys farthest from home. 兔子不吃窩邊草。

The fox knew too much, that's how he lost his tail. 機關算盡太聰明，反誤了卿卿性命。

The first step is the only difficulty. 邁出第一步是最艱難的。

The fire is the test of gold, adversity of strong man. 烈火驗真金，艱難磨意志。

The finest diamond must be cut. 玉不琢，不成器。

The farthest way about is the nearest way home. 抄近路反而繞遠路。

The eye is bigger than the belly. 貪多嚼不爛。

The end makes all equal. 死亡面前，人人平等。

The end justifies the means. 只要目的正當，可以不擇手段。
