Omani sayings & proverbs: "don't sell your rug"

Omani saying {this one is actually originally from Zanzibar}: "Don't sell your rug for a carpet that is just passing through". Meaning: be happy with what you have. It is kind of a varient of the English version "the grass is always greener on the other side". Meaning, don't give up a good tried and true relationship or other varient, for something that just looks better but you have no idea how it will hold up or last or doesn't belong to you or care for you ect....
