Easier said than done.

Easier said than done.说着容易，做着难。

Meaning: You say something is easier said than done when it looks easy to do, but in fact it's quite difficult to do.

For Example:

1) A：I feel like writing a novel these days. 最近我想写本小说？
B：Really? But easier said than done. 真的吗?可是说着容易做着难。

2) Opening a branch office in China is easier said than done because of all the government regulations.
