美德远远胜过美貌。
walls have ears.
小心隔墙有耳。
wash your dirty linen at home.
家丑不可外扬。
water dropping day by day wears the hardest rock away.
滴水穿石。

失去健康，钱再多也没用。
we know not what is good until we have lost it.
好东西，失去了才明白。
well begun is half done.
好的开始，是成功的一半。
we never know the worth of water till the well is dry.
