| Nov 4, 2023 at 7:36 | comment | added | DonQuiKong | Yes, it's a German idiom. But it's in English so I guess it's still not what you are looking for. But it's actually used in German conversations. | |
| Nov 4, 2023 at 0:06 | comment | added | O. R. Mapper | @userunknown: I know this in German as "Nichts hält länger als ein Provisorium.", though I'd argue it is at best remotely similar. For starters, this one doesn't recommend any course of action. | |
| Nov 3, 2023 at 22:42 | comment | added | RDBury | @DonQuiKong - That has a Wiktionary entry, and indeed it's listed as a pseudo-anglicism -- it appears to be English but isn't. | |
| Nov 3, 2023 at 22:14 | comment | added | user unknown | Another, similar idiom is "Rien ne dures que le provisure" - unfortunately it's in French, and pretty probably there are at least 2 misspellings in there. | |
| Nov 3, 2023 at 21:48 | comment | added | DonQuiKong | There is a German idiom for the same thing: "never change a running system". Unfortunately, it's in English. | |
