百闻不如一见 Seeing is believing.

笨鸟先飞 A slow sparrow should make an early start.

不眠之夜 white night　

不以物喜，不以己悲 not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personnal losses

不遗余力 spare no effort; go all out; do one's best

不打不成交 "No discord, no concord.

拆东墙补西墙 rob Peter to pay Paul

辞旧迎新 bid farewell to the old and usher in the new; ring out the old year and ring in the new

大开眼界 open one's eyes; broaden one's horizon; be an eye-opener

国泰民安 The country flourishes and people live in peace

功夫不负有心人 Everything comes to him who waits.

好了伤疤忘了疼 once on shore, one prays no more

和气生财 Harmony brings wealth

活到老，学到老 One is never too old to learn.

既往不咎 let bygones be bygones

金无足赤,人无完人 Gold can't be pure and man can't be perfect.

金玉满堂 Treasures fill the home

脚踏实地 be down-to-earth

脚踩两只船 sit on the fence

老生常谈，陈词滥调 cut and dried, cliché

礼尚往来 Courtesy calls for reciprocity.

留得青山在，不怕没柴烧 "Where there is life, there is hope."

马到成功 achieve immediate victory; win instant success

名利双收 gain in both fame and wealth

茅塞顿开 be suddenly enlightened

没有规矩不成方圆 Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. 

弄巧成拙 be too smart by half; Cunning outwits itself.

拿手好戏 masterpiece

赔了夫人又折兵 throw good money after bad
