I don't think it's English, but there's the old saying about a journey of a 1,000 miles beginning with a single step that I think is related as well. You just have to take that first step...
Deja vu, Safety.
So maybe you could list related kotowaza as well for those of us who cannot recall the ones you've already covered...
Excellent idea, Safety Neal! Only problem is half the time I'm not sure if I've already used a particular Kotowaza or not, and Googling for Japanese in Blogger has proven problematic in the past.
Still, good suggestion. If I'm going to list related English phrases, why not related Kotowaza?
Glad to be of assistance. :-)
