An idiom is a peculiar way to express an opinion, an idea or a thought. A proverb is a wise old saying or maxim which normally carries some truth, wisdom, good advice or motivation.
All's fair in love and war.
This idiom means where there are conflicts of interest, people are expected to act viciously.
And when it comes to love or war, any action taken is considered fair and just.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
This means whether a thing is beautiful or not depends on the person who looks at it. Different people have different opinions.

All the rage
When something is all the rage, it is very popular or fashionable at the moment.
