Introducing counterparts in your language for other posts might be fun for anyone. Wer rastet, der rostetI feel it is very Germany for it is said that Germany is diligence and stoic. We have these below. I feel ambiguous moral and luck is needed to rule oneself is Japanese-like. - 善は急げ/As for goodness, be hurry up. ( Zenha isoge )
- 思い立ったが吉日/When you decide is your lucky day. ( Omoi tattaga kichijitsu )
Good things comeWe have its counterpart "果報は寝て待て/As for a fruition report, sleep and wait it" (kahou ha nete mate ) . It origins from Buddhism and the original meaning was "As for a fruition and payback of your doing on your previous life, sleep and wait it" and it contained both good and bad fortunes. But because of the character 報 has both meaning of payback and report, it means only a good thing nowadays. Chi di spada ferisce, di spada perisceFor this phrase is quoted in many samurai manga, I thought it was a phrase of a renowned samurai. "身から出た錆/Body-born rust" ( Mi kara deta sabi ) is our counterpart for it. It originally means "Blade-born rust" for 身 meant "body of sword" but most Japanese think it a human body now. Shooting Sparrows With CannonsWe have many proverbs in a style of "casting pearls before swine" which means "no gain from a big investment" but lack of famous one that means less gain from much effort. I searched for it and found there's "大根を正宗で切る/To cut a daikon with Masamune" ( Daikon wo Masamune de kiru ) but very infamous. "獅子は兎を狩るにも全力を尽くす/A lion takes its best efforts to hunt even if the prey is a rabbit" ( Shishi ha usagi wo karu nimo zenryoku wo tsukusu ) which has an opposite meaning is very famous in Japan. |

Updated my post with art. The art allowed me to play a bit with how to represent the flavor so I wanted to give it a soft bump. |
