Industry is the parent of success. 勤奮是成功之母。

If you want knowledge, you must toil for it. 要想求知，就得吃苦。

If you venture nothing, you will have nothing. 不入虎穴，焉得虎子。

If you sell the cow, you sell her milk too. 殺雞取卵。

If you run after two hares, you will catch neither. 腳踏兩條船，必定落空。

If your ears glow, someone is talking of you. 耳朵發燒，有人念叨。

If you make yourself an ass, don't complain if people ride you. 人善被人欺，馬善被人騎。

If a man deceives me once, shame on him, if he deceives me twice, shame on me. 上當一回頭，再多就可恥。

I cannot be your friend and your flatterer too. 朋友不能阿諛奉承。

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. 抱最好的願望，做最壞的打算。
