Rock the boat and 2 more ways to say don't cause trouble
To ask someone not to cause trouble, say "Just keep the peace" for gentle advice, "Just don't make waves" for a quiet warning, or "Don't rock the boat" when things already work and you want them to stay that way. For softer or more specific situations, you can also say "Let's not stir things up," "Leave well enough alone" or "Let sleeping dogs lie."

Just keep the peace. Tom: Gentle, friendly advice
Use it when you want someone to help people stay calm and happy, for example at a family dinner or in a team meeting. It is not a good choice when someone has a real problem that needs to be discussed.
“Just keep the peace.”
-
Just don't make waves. Tom: Casual, quiet warning
Here, waves means trouble that people notice. Use the line to tell someone not to attract attention or create problems, often in a new job or group. It can sound a little cynical, so avoid it when the other person is trying to fix something unfair.
“Just don't make waves.”
-
Don't rock the boat. Tom: Firm, keep things calm
Use it when things work fine now and a change or complaint could upset the situation. It is direct, so with a manager or a client a softer line like "Let's not change too much" may be better.
“Don't rock the boat.”
-
Let's not stir things up. Tom: Soft, inclusive suggestion
Use it when a topic or comment could start an argument again. "Let's" makes it sound like a shared decision, so it works well with friends and coworkers.
-
Leave well enough alone. Tom: Practical, slightly firm
Use it when something is good enough and more changes could make it worse. It is about improving or fixing things, not about arguments between people.
-
Let sleeping dogs lie. Tom: Wise, idiomatic advice
Use it about an old problem or disagreement that is quiet now. It means don't bring it back. It is an idiom, so explain it if your listener is new to English.
Erros comuns
-
Não fica bem assim
Don't rock the ship.Uma forma melhor Don't rock the boat.
Idioms have fixed words. Native speakers always say "boat" here, so changing it to "ship" sounds strange.
-
Não fica bem assim
Just don't make wave.Uma forma melhor Just don't make waves.
The idiom uses the plural "waves." With a singular noun the phrase loses its idiomatic meaning and sounds like a grammar mistake.
-
Não fica bem assim
Please keep peace in the meeting.Uma forma melhor Please keep the peace in the meeting.
The fixed phrase is "keep the peace," with "the." Without the article it sounds unnatural.
