“sticka under stol med”

vara med på noterna

to be in the know, to be aware

vara i form

to be in shape

Många bäckar små gör en stor å

Every little bit adds up.

kasta in handduken

to give up

Hellre fly än illa fäkta

Better to retreat than to fight a losing battle.

Borta bra men hemma bäst

There's no place like home.

dra sitt strå till stacken

to contribute one's share

då och då

from time to time
