"It'll All Come Out In The Wash"...............

To have a positive resolution (like a clothing stain that is washed away). If the truth or facts come out in the wash, people find out about them after some time. You tell someone that everything will come out in the wash when you want to reassure them that a difficult situation will definitely end.

"Opposites Attract"..............

Unlike people tend to be drawn to each other. People who are completely different make ideal partners.

I do not feel this is true. I think you must have at least a few things in common with someone for the relationship to last and flourish!

Improve one's position by one's own efforts.This impossible task is supposed to exemplify the achievement in getting out of a difficult situation by one's own efforts.

"Tickles your fancy"...........

Something that gives one pleasure and puts a smile on their face..

If you break down the phrase, tickle is used to mean 'to excite or stir up in a pleasing manner' (think of the smiling, laughing reaction of a person being physically tickled), and fancy as a noun that means 'a notion or whim, a fantasy.
