| 焼け石に水 | To cast water into the Thames. What is a pound of butter among a kennel of hounds? |

| 柳に風 | No reply is best. |
| 柳の下の |
There are no birds in last year's nest. A fox is not caught twice in the same snare. Good luck does not always repeat itself. Chances are not blackberries. |
| 柳の枝に雪折れなし／柳に |
A creaking gate hangs long. Better bend than break. Better bow than break. Oaks may break when reeds stand the storm. |
| A bolt from the blue. A stick out of a thicket. |
|
| 藪をつついて蛇を出す／ |
It's not good to wake a sleeping lion. Let sleeping dogs lie. |
| It is not work that kills, but worry. Fancy may kill or cure. |

Better be the tail of lions than the head of foxes. When you take shelter, make sure you go under a big tree. A good tree is a good shelter. |

Misfortunes never come singly. Misfortunes never come alone. |
