I do like idioms and of course the Chinese have many. I will be quite happy if anyone can send me  a few Chinese ones.

Here is a few Western idioms. The meaning to most of them is self explanatory  but feel free to ask if you have an questions

 

A stitch in time saves nine

 

You cant make a omelet without breaking a few eggs

 

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

 

Don't put all your eggs in one  basket

 

A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

 

A rolling stone gathers no moss

 

Behind every cloud there is a sliver lining

 

The squeaky wheel gets the grease

 

Beware of a wolf in sheeps clothings

 

A new broom sweeps clean

 

You made your bed now you are going have to lay in it

 

The grass grows greener on the other side of the fence

I like to add some history articles in the near future and have a forum of discussion on

Columbus, The French and Indian War and The American Revolution just to name a few

Cold and crisp winter's day

The sky begins to spit snow

A few sprinkles at first

Then the heavens opened up

A shower of white

If you take time to look

No two are alike

Of all the millions descending

I saw and focused on you

Dancing so free in the wind

How I wanted to reach out

With my hand open

The flaked seem so near

I watched what seem to last

Until you landed in a white sea

Lost but never forgotten
