Virtue & Vice

used to imply that people should avoid pointing out faults in others if they themselves have similar or worse faults

Ex: The celebrity was quick to judge others for their fashion choices, but someone pointed out that he had been caught wearing a similar outfit a few years ago.

used to suggest that before trying to address or correct the faults of others, a person should first focus on addressing their own shortcomings and improving themselves

Ex: The manager was criticizing his employees for being unproductive, but someone pointed out that he had been taking long breaks and leaving early.

used to suggest that sweet talk or flattery may be used to manipulate or deceive others, emphasizing the need to be cautious of those who use such tactics

Ex: The celebrity's public persona was sweet and kind, but her staff knew that she could be demanding and difficult to work with - she had a honey tongue, but a heart of gall, as the saying goes.

used for saying that someone who makes a lot of noise or threats is unlikely to act upon them with any real harm or action

Ex: The boss was known for his angry outbursts, but his employees knew that he never followed through on his threats - a clear example of how a barking dog never bites.

used to suggest that a person should act in a way that is consistent with the image they want to project to others, emphasizing the importance of being authentic in one's behavior

Ex: He always presented himself as honest and trustworthy, and because he believed in the saying 'be what you would seem to be,' he never lied or acted in a deceitful manner.

used to advise others to follow the speaker's advice or instructions, even if the speaker does not set a good example by following them

Ex: I told my son to never smoke, but he caught me smoking

used to imply that those who are least knowledgeable or skilled tend to be the most talkative, while the more knowledgeable ones are often quieter

Ex: The internet is full of people who talk a big game, but when it comes to actually doing something, they disappear - it's a prime example of empty vessels making the most noise.

used to suggest that the person's apparent politeness and charm may be used as a means to achieve their own interests or objectives

Ex: The real estate agent was always polite to his clients, but he also knew how to use his charm to close a deal.
