back to square one MeaningIf you have to go back to square one, you have to stop and start again, usually because something isn't working as well as expected.
For example
We were going to start the new company next month, but it's back to square one now that Omar has changed his mind about investing in it.
After they lost the election, the Liberal Party had to go back to square one and come up with some new policies and some new ideas.

If you lose out, you fail to benefit from something that others are benefitting from.

The Education Ministry has lost out again in this year's budget because the government needs the money to pay for the war.

a white lie MeaningIf you tell a white lie, you say something that isn't true in order to be polite or so as not to hurt someone's feelings.
For example
Sometimes it's better to tell a white lie than to tell someone a painful truth.
I really didn't want to go to my boss's dinner party, so I told a white lie and said I had to go to a friend's wedding party that night.

Where there's muck there's money Meaning
There is money to be made in dirt and dirty jobs. For example, many people have made fortunes by processing rubbish or waste materials.
Note: Another version of this saying is: "Where there's muck there's brass."
Origin: This saying originated in England in or before the 19th century. The 17th-century book "A collection of English proverbs" (Rev. John Ray) includes a similar idea: "Muck and money go together."

Zeal, when it is a virtue, is a dangerous one Meaning
According to this saying, "good zeal" cannot exist. It seems that zeal is inherently dangerous. When zeal is not a virtue, by definition it is not good. When zeal is a virtue, according to this saying it is dangerous, which is also not good. This saying relies heavily on paradox for its effect.
Note: zeal (noun) = enormous energy or enthusiasm for a cause or an objective
virtue (noun) = quality regarded as morally good in a person
