13 от добра добра не ищут
посл.if you're well off you don't seek better; cf. let well alone; enough is as good as a feast; the best is oftentimes the enemy of the good; why look for a good thing when you have one?Стёша хотела крикнуть, что дома с цветами под окнами, что жизнь лёгкая, - всё выдумки, не будет легче. Уж коли хочет добра ей, то пусть не держит - с отцом да с матерью ей удобнее, от добра добра не ищут! (В. Тендряков, Не ко двору) — Stesha wanted to scream at him, to tell him the house with the flowers under the window was all just a tale, and nothing was ever going to be any better. If he wanted her to be happy, he shouldn't keep her there; she'd be better off with her parents. If you're well off you don't seek better!
Пока суд да дело, Светлана, разумеется, может поселиться у неё, у Федоры Павловны. Чего там ещё искать - от добра добра не ищут. (М. Алигер, Соловьиная песня) — Up to then, of course, Svetlana could stop with her, why look for a good thing when you have one?
- Первый раз в жизни мужика прошу: не уходи. От добра добра не ищут. Не уходи, Саша. (С. Абрамов, Требуется чудо) — 'For the first time in my life, I'm asking a man: Don't leave me. Let well alone. Don't go, Sasha.'
