When in Rome,...
do as the Romans do. [When visiting a place or being in a particular setting, you should act like the rest or follow the customs so as not to stick out]
Every cloud...
has its silver lining. [Even bad things have a positive side]
Easier said...
than done. [It may sound like a simple problem on paper, but in practice it's much more difficult than it appears at first sight]
Don't count your chickens...
before they hatch. [Don't anticipate success too early before something is finished = Don't sell the bear's skin before you've caught it - Lorenzo Astenio]
Speak of the devil...
and here he/she is. [You were just talking about someone and they appear as if summoned by your conversation]
A fool and his money...
are soon parted. [Said to convince people who are not wise with their money not to spend it on worthless things or a gullible one not to be scammed]
If the cap fits...
wear it. [If a particular description fits you, accept it]
Accidents will happen...
in the best regulated families [Not every accident can be prevented]
The more things change...
the more they stay the same. [It looks like things are changing but actually nothing important has changed]
It takes two...
to tango. [When a task needs two people or two people should accept the blame or responsibility for something bad they took part in, like a quarrel]
All is fair...
in love and war. [When describing a situation in which people do not follow the usual rules of behaviour and do things normally considered unfair]
The nail that sticks out...
gets hammered down. [Those who are different or stand out from the crowd, often get unfairly criticised or attacked]
Birds of a feather...
flock together. [People who are similar in personality, tastes or morals you disapprove of tend to get together or spend time with each other]
Great minds...
think alike.[When someone has had the same idea as you independently from you].
What goes around...
comes around. [It means that you should not treat others badly, or else you will be treated badly. Instant karma as they say nowadays]
All roads...
lead to Rome. [It means that all choices, methods, or actions eventually lead to the same result]
