Judge as you would be judged

Con la vara que midas, serás medido

Take the bitter with the sweet

Si quieres al perro, acepta las pulgas

Water under the bridge

Saldar cuentas

Bury the hatchet

Echar pelillos a la mar

To go against the grain

Nadar contra la corriente

To have an ax to grind

Donde manda capitán, no manda marinero

Keep someone posted

Estar, mantener, poner al tanto

Echar pelillos a la mar
