The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Meaning:

even when they are not really so.
It is often shortened to 'The grass is greener on the other side,' or even 'The grass is greener.'
Examples:
Don't compare your talents with others. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Just do your best.
