This proverb is used to describe a situation where, despite putting in effort, resources, or expensive remedies, the desired result is not achieved. It signifies a futile attempt where the investment (symbolized by the medicinal castor oil) is lost without saving the outcome (symbolized by the child).

This proverb warns that harboring enmity or living with an active grudge is inherently dangerous and stressful. Just as one can never be at peace or safe in a house where a venomous snake resides, a person living with a rivalry or hatred is always under the threat of harm and lacks mental peace.

This is a traditional proverb highlighting gender-stereotypical roles from the past. It suggests that a mirror in a woman's hand will break because she uses it too frequently, and a baby in a man's hand will not thrive because he lacks the natural nurturing patience or skill required for childcare.

This proverb is used to describe an impossible situation where two contradictory things cannot happen at the same time.

This expression is used to describe a situation where two contradictory things cannot happen simultaneously.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where two people are equally matched in their flaws or habits (often negative), making them a perfect pair for each other. It implies that a relationship or partnership succeeded because both parties share similar characteristics or temperaments.

This proverb is used to describe how people tend to exaggerate the qualities or potential of something they have lost or something that failed to materialize. It highlights the human tendency to glorify the 'what ifs' or lost opportunities, making them seem much greater than they actually were.

Thought more of when dead than when living. Far folks fare well, and fair children die.

This expression is used sarcastically or philosophically to point out that if things actually went according to a specific (often flawed or overly simple) plan, life would be much easier or different.
