New Members Mat7 Posted March 22, 2019 at 08:35 PM New Members Report Posted March 22, 2019 at 08:35 PM Hello, There is a Chinese proverb which goes: "One day as a tiger is worth a thousand as a sheep." How does this look in Chinese signs? Please help, thanks a lot in advance!! Mat Quote
Publius Posted March 22, 2019 at 09:30 PM Report Posted March 22, 2019 at 09:30 PM I don't think there is such a Chinese proverb. Search on Chinese web turns up an article quoting Alison Hargreaves as saying "It is better to live one day as tiger than a thousand years as a sheep" (与其千日为羊，不如一日为虎). Plug that sentence into Google and you get this page from The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs, which says: Quote Better to live one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep Recorded as the view of Tipu Sahib c 1750–99, sultan of Mysore in India; see quot. 1800. □ ... 2 Quote
