| At some point | Sooner or later |
| select | pick and choose |
| Immediately | there and then |
| about / almost | more or less |
| with no problems |
safe and sound |
| compromise | give and take |
| accept it or not | take it or leave if |
| good and bad times | ups and downs |
| something is uncertain or risky | touch and go |
| Gradually and steadily | slowly but surely |
| the positive and negative experiences or emotions in life | highs and lows |
