This expression refers to a situation where a result can only be achieved through two specific means: either by treating the root cause (medicine) or by applying external pressure/motivation (a push).

This proverb highlights the endless nature of labor for certain professions.

This proverb highlights that certain people are always busy. A person with a physical itch is constantly occupied scratching it, while a gardener is perpetually busy tending to plants.

This expression is used to describe a situation where an employee or subordinate behaves with more authority or arrogance than the actual owner or employer. It highlights the irony of someone in a service position overstepping their boundaries and acting overly superior.
