in the grave the rich and poor lie equal.
一朝入暮穴，贫富皆一律。
every minute counts.
分秒必争。
an ounce of luck is better than a pound of wisdom.
聪明才智,不如运气。
a light heart lives long.
静以修身。
a maid that laughs is half taken.
少女露笑脸，好事半成全。
make your enemy your friend.
化敌为友。
a leopard can't change its spots
积习难改。
where there is life, there is hope.
生命不息，希望不止。
faith will move mountains.
精诚所至，金石为开。
joy put heart into a man
人逢喜事精神爽。
make hay while the sun shines
趁热打铁。
