English equivalent of a Malayalam saying "In the land where no one has a nose, the broken-nosed one is the king"
There is a saying in Malayalam which can be roughly translated as "In the land where no one has a nose, the broken-nosed one is the king". Is there a way to express the same sentiment in English?
The customary saying is In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, which was apparently coined by Erasmus.
