Practice not being too literal #9

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

I am so impressed with the answers that have been given for my other posts! It is very difficult to choose. Good luck with this one!
