    Hi,

    I think the 3rd one is similar to this saying.

    "Blood is thicker than water".

    Is it correct?

     

    Thanks for sharing.

    I like the idea of sharing popular sayings. Let's just be careful because there may be proverbs that are not so easy to translate or even to be understood by people from different nationalities, as they come from the culture.

     

    Anyway, here are popular sayings from Brazil that are similar in the English language:

     

    * Money doesn't grow on trees.

    * Bad news travel fast.

    * Better late than never.
