It might be that I don't quite understand the English expression, but I think that the Russian one is different. You use it when you are suggesting that "the better" may, in fact, come out worse than "the good". In other words - don't be too keen on improvements.[/quote:25fzi0kd]

I think they're the same. The phrase is not "folk wisdom" but a quote from Voltaire. I assume most languages have a translation.
