1 all is grist that comes to his mill
он всё использует, он из всего извлекает выгодуThe story of Ophir was told over again and sensationalized until even Daylight scarcely recognised it. Still, it was all grist to his mill. (J. London, ‘Burning Daylight’, part II, ch. III) — Историю прииска Офир извлекли из архива и повторяли на все лады, прибавляя все новые сенсационные подробности, так что под конец Харниги сам едва мог ее узнать. Однако вся эта шумиха лила воду на его мельницу.
Everything is grist to his mill, from the glimpse of a face in the street to a war that convulses the civilized world, from the scent of a rose to the death of a friend. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Summing Up’, ch. 50) — Нет ничего, что бы не пригодилось писателю - от лица, мельком увиденного на улице, до войны, сотрясающей весь цивилизованный мир, от аромата розы до смерти друга.
