Idioms and proverbs to share

Proverbs and idioms are a strong tools to express a thought ; but they are also tricky and make the comprehension difficult between people of diffirent cultures. Can you please share an idiom or a proverb you know and explain it.

I will start by this one that I learned from my teacher :

He is as fit as a fiddle. And it means that : He is in good health.
