في الامتحان يكرم المرء أو يحان | The proof's in the pudding |

What is disastrous for some people can prove to be advantageous for other people | The water gives the lie to the diver |
امشي في جنازة ولا تمشي في جوازة.
A leader's errors are compounded by his followers | Used to criticize someone who blames their tools for their bad work |

اللى مكتوب عالجبين لازم تشوفه العين | يا ما تحت السواهي دواهي |
الاعتراف بالحق فضيلة il-i3tiraaf bil-Ha''e faDiila.
19اللى يشوف بلوة غيره تهون عليه بلوته | The believer is not bitten from the same hole twice |

ديل الكلب عمره مايتعدل deil ik-kalb 3omru mayet3edel The dog's tail will never straighten out | You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs |
He who doesn't have the money to pay for something does not need it.
