5 lookers-on see more than players
посл.(lookers-on see more than players (тж. lookers-on see most of the game))≈ со стороны виднее; см. тж. the onlookers see more than playersHe was a keen observer of human nature, and if it is true that the looker-on knows most of the game, Mr. Satterthwaite knew a good deal. (A. Christie, ‘Dead Man's Mirror’) — Любимым занятием мистера Саттертуэйта было изучение человеческой натуры, и если верно, что зрителю виднее, чем игроку, то мистер Саттертуэйт видел и знал многое.

7 the onlookers see more than players
посл.(the onlookers see more than players (тж. the onlookers see most of the game))со стороны виднее; см. тж. lookers-on see more than playersI've led him out by the hand; I have paraded him before you. Were my commonplace fears unjust? I won't say - not even now. You may be able to tell better, since the proverb has it that the onlookers see most of the game. (J. Conrad, ‘Lord Jim’, ch. 21) — Вот я вывел к вам Джима; посмотрите на него и скажите, справедливы ли были мои страхи. Я ведь человек простой и даже сейчас не знаю, прав ли я был. Быть может, вы рассудите лучше, недаром пословица говорит, что зрителям игра виднее.

pitch we weep when we are born, not when we die what can you have of a cat but her skin what can't be cured must be endured what matters to a blind man that his father could see what you lose on the swings, you gain on the roundabouts when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail when a dog is drowning, everyone offers him drink when in doubt, do nowt when interest is lost, memory is lost when a man lays the foundation of his own ruin, others will build on it when a river does not make a noise, it is either empty or very full when the devil is dead, he never lacks a chief mourner when two ride on one horse one must sit behind where bees are, there is honey where it is weakest, there the thread breaks who seeks what he should not finds what he would not why keep a dog and bark yourself? a wonder lasts but nine days the worth of a thing is best known by its want the world is a ladder for some to go up and some down would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason you buy land, you buy stones; you buy meat, you buy bones you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink you can tell the day by the morning you cannot lose what you never had you cannot touch pitch and not be defiled you can't put new wine in old bottles you can't walk and look at the stars if you have a stone in your shoe your looking glass will tell you what none of your friends will zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse -
