You have to work for what you want
No pain, no gain
It's your decision
The ball is in your court
This person or thing may look bad, but it's good inside
You can't judge a book by its cover
It's OK to miss this opportunity. Others will arise.
There are other fish in the sea
Believe what people do and not what they say
Actions speak louder than words
To joke with someone
Pull someone's leg
Give away a secret
Spill the beans
Sick
Under the weather
very expensive
cost an arm and a leg
Rarely
Once in a blue moon
Give away a secret
Let the cat out of the bag
Don’t take it too seriously
Take it with a grain of salt
Saving money for later
Saving for a rainy day
What you have is worth more than what you might have later
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Put a project on hold
Put something on ice
wait a moment
hold your horses
It's not complicated
It's not rocket science
Nothing is entirely free
There's no such thing as a free lunch
