("One man's gravy is another man's poison.")


"Nothing hurts like the truth."
(= It is painful to discover an unpleasant truth about oneself.)

 

"You reap what you sow."
(= The amount of effort you put into something determines how much you will get out of it.)

 

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
(= Don't hurt someone who takes care of you.)

 

"Clothes do not make the man."
(= A person should not be judged by the clothes he or she wears.)

 

"He who hesitates is lost."
(= A person who doesn't act decisively is unlikely to succeed.)
