Le falta un real para el peso y la mitad de la semana.

He is a quarter short of a dollar and half of the week. (He is daft.)

Le falta un tornillo.

He’s missing a screw. (He is daft.)

Le ofrecen almohada y quiere colchón.

They offer him a pillow, and he wants a mattress. (They offer him an inch and he wants a mile.)

Lo que sobra reparte.

She shares the leftovers. (She gives only what she doesn’t want anymore; she’s stingy.)

Mal de muchos, consuelo de tontos.

The suffering of many is the consolation of fools.
