used to suggest that there are certain inherent differences between two things or groups of people that cannot be overcome or reconciled

What is the origin of the proverb "East is East, West is West" and when to use it?

The origin of the proverb "East is East, West is West" comes from Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Ballad of East and West,' published in 1889. The full line in the poem is "East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." Kipling's poem reflects the idea that people from the East and West, despite being part of the same world, have fundamentally different cultures, values, and ways of life. The proverb conveys the message that there are deep cultural, philosophical, or geographical differences between regions or groups, and these differences can be difficult to bridge. It is often used to emphasize the separation or distinctiveness of different cultures or ways of thinking, with the implication that such differences may never be fully reconciled.

used to suggest that appearances can be deceiving, and that it is important to look beyond surface-level qualities to assess true value or worth

What is the origin of the proverb "all that glitters is not gold" and when to use it?

The origin of the proverb "all that glitters is not gold" can be traced to William Shakespeare's play 'The Merchant of Venice,' written in 1596. Shakespeare used this phrase to express the idea that outward appearances can be deceiving, and that things that seem valuable or attractive on the surface may not be as they appear. The proverb has since become a widely used reminder that not everything that looks good is necessarily valuable or genuine, encouraging people to look beyond external appearances before making judgments.
