The phrase 'A nine days' wonder' refers to something that creates brief excitement then is quickly forgotten. It describes trends or sensations that flare brilliantly then vanish. Nine is the traditional number specifying how short-lived the fascination lasts. Five, six, and seven are incorrect.

This phrase describes someone significant standing out among those worthless or meaningless: a 'figure' (meaning a digit 1-9) among 'ciphers' (zeros, which have no value alone). It uses a mathematical metaphor to contrast importance with insignificance. Flowers, books, and animals don't create this numerical contrast.

The proverb 'Practice makes a man perfect' means consistent training and repetition lead to mastery. Regular exercise of any skill gradually eliminates errors and builds excellence. Perfect is the traditional completion. Imperfect and dull contradict the meaning, while handsome is irrelevant.
