You never know what you can till you try. 是驢子是馬，拉出來遛遛。

You may know by a handful the whole sack. 由一斑可知全貌。

You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. 強扭的瓜不甜。

You cannot eat your cake and have it. 魚與熊掌，不可得兼。

You cannot burn the candle at both ends. 蠟燭不能兩頭點，精力不可過分耗。

Work makes the workman. 勤工出巧匠。

Wise man have their mouths in their hearts, fools have their hearts in their mouths. 智者嘴在心裡，愚者心在嘴裡。

Whom the gods love die young. 好人不長命。

Who chatters to you, will chatter of you. 搬弄口舌者必是小人。

While the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten. 道高一尺，魔高一丈。
