Money is not everything, but it sure helps
Chinese
钱不是万能的,但没有钱是万万不能的
Pinyin
qián bú shì wànnéng de - dàn méi yǒu qián shì wànwàn bùnéng de
Literal meaning:
Money Not Is All-powerful [Grammar particle] But Not Have Money Is Absolutely Unable [Grammar particle]
This is not considered an idiom, but it is a phrase very well known in China, and it has a good point - just like a regular Chinese idiom.
