Answer 1

What comes around goes around..

In my experience, the usual formulation is "What goes around comes around.." (paralleling, "Your actions will come back to haunt you.") Reversing the order of the verbs destroys (or, at least, radically changes) the meaning.

Thanks! I guess this is the actual phrase... I remembered it from Beyonce's song.. i dont know the exact title... If i remember it correctly "What goes around comes around.. what goes up must come down" it is also tantamount to a one word called "KARMA" - tzarleen, May 11, 2011

Answer 2

In Mexico, we say: Todo lo que sube tiene que bajar.

Answer 3

What goes around comes around.

• The status eventually returns to its original value after completing some sort of cycle.
• A person's actions, whether good or bad, will often have consequences for that person.

En Argentina es común escuchar "tirala buena que vuelve" entendiéndose que vuelve también buena. O "todo lo que sube baja", y ya yéndonos para el lado de casi la parte negativa del dicho, aquí decimos: "quien siembra vientos cosecha tempestades".

lo que se siembra se cosecha

When you find one that you like, why not enter it into the phrasebook? I didn't see ""what goes arournd comes around" in the Phrasebook.

Nice opinion :) - Fidalgo, May 13, 2011
