The squeaky wheel gets the grease
making clear one's beliefs, principles or feelings
To meet your match
to screech; to squeak
There is safety in silence
gathering en masse
a well-respected elder
A surgeon must have the devil's hands and the Buddha's heart
damage; injury
peony and other fancy flowers
An empty theory
Full of joy
A skeptical mind sees demons everywhere
over-worrying; being a Chicken Little
Homesickness
crack; flaw
To pass away
fan used by general to signal troops
