what famous proverbs/Idioms do you have in your native langauge ? and can you explain them ?

This topic interests me because you can tell a lot about a specific country's culture from their idioms.

some of myfavorite Lebanese idioms are: 

1. عرج الجمل من شفتو (araj el jamal min shifto)

it literally means : the camel limps because of his lip.

It's supposed to be about how some people exaggerate their problems because the camel has only hurt his lip but he's acting like he is severely injured.

another one is  : إذا الأب البصل والأم التوم الريحة الحلوة من وين بدها تعوم ؟! (itha al ab albasal w al im altoom , alriha al hilwa min wein badha t'oum)

it literally means: if the dad is the onion and the mother is the garlic , where will the good smell comes from?

Simply, if both parents are nasty people , you can't expect the child to be a good person.

and the last, and weidest, one is :

متل الأربعاء بنص الجمعاء  (mitil el urba bi nos el juma)

it means : like Wednesday in the middle of Friday

We usually use this expression when something is inconvenietly placed or someone comes at an inconvenient time.

Thanks for reading !

I would love to hear idioms from your country as well !
