Burnt child dreads the fire. 一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井繩。

Fine feathers do not make fine birds.人不可貌相。

Better die with honour than live with shame. 寧為玉碎，不為瓦全。

Before gold, even kings take off their hats. 有錢能使鬼推磨。

Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings. 饑不擇食

Bad news has wings. 壞事傳千里。

By falling we learn to go safely. 吃一塹，長一智。

Destruction pursues the great. 樹大招風(fēng)。

Feed a pig and you'll have a hog. 種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆。

Better an open enemy than a false friend. 明槍易躲，暗箭難防。

Friendship the older it grows the stronger it is. 友誼地久天長

From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. 星星之火可以燎原。
