Lo bueno abunda

[ROBINDESBOIS]

How can we say this in English?
Example there are so many men called José, that we can say lo bueno abunda.

[poli]

There's a abundance of guys named Joe. There's a good supply of guys named Joe.

Mmm...
I think the idea is closer to "Great minds think alike"...

Literally, what Poli says seems fine, but it seems to miss this connotation of the idiomatic expression I note above.

Would these options below work any better? (@poli or any other "forero")

There are so many men called José, that we cannot say there's a shortage of good things.

There are so many men called José, that we can say there's a good supply of great [excellent] people.

'Good things abound' seems very literal, but it might fit.

Other ideas we can bounce around:
"You can't have too many ..."
"There are never enough ..."
"I can't say enough good things about ..."

Good Morning!

Unfortunately, I have always heard......."de lo bueno, poco".

Never heard --- "lo bueno abunda"

I guess what Poli and others are saying is possible....

:confused:

I know it' s more frequently used, but you can always play with the language.
