Is there a phase like this in Japanese?

RvBVakama · 18 Oct 2016

My brother wanted me to ask is there a phrase in Japanese that means something along the lines of:
"there is always something more"
in relation to life and such

Ps. He has told me that has been this motto this year.

Thanks and get creative, suggest other cool phrases

I do not know how to say that in Japanese, but I do know a common Japanese phrase.

仕方ない。
しかたない。

Which is said when something goes wrong and there is not much you can do. It kind of means "Oh well, no use fighting it." Like if you forget you umbrella and it starts raining. You would say 仕方ない。

For "there is always something more", I translated in two ways as below:
１）きりはない。
２）上には上がある。
Would love to hear someone to give us a Japanese KOTOWAZA.

I would love to hear anyone tell me how they're arriving at a Japanese translation without even knowing what situation or circumstances the phrase is being used in.
