Collecting Foreign Language Idioms

I'm collecting foreign language idioms for a project.

I need the Idiom in the original language, translation into English and some description of why you like it and any other personal things attached to it.

If I make use of it you won't be identified.

An example

Finnish Idiom

tehdä kärpäsestä härkänen
to make a bull out of a fly

Means same thing as "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill"

I find the visual image much more amusing of a bull with insect wings flying round my kitchen.

Please leave any suggestions you have as comments

Government Plans the Abolition of Scotland

“We will use what we have learned in the Chagos Islands and move Scotland's population to a new town in East Anglia. Scotland will then become a great wilderness park which we will ask the UN to protect.”

Not quite certain why this hasn't come out on WikiLeaks yet
