English Phrase: Take the good with the bad

Oh boy, it is the middle of the week.

Oh well, I guess we have to take the good with the bad, which means that nothing is perfect and everything has both good and bad points.

You know what I mean: You have a beautiful wife, but she snores very loudly; you have a handsome husband, but he is a terrible driver.


The phrase take the good with the bad means nothing is perfect, and we must accept that everything has both good and bad points.


You have to take the good with the bad.
