Reminds me of -

Hold your horses..

And -

Whoa, Nellie.

Also -

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I have a bunch that every time I hear one, I write it down in my phone. I promise I'm actually holding back...

- The oughties (2000-2009)

- He has a face for radio

- Edison's medicine (electro therapy)

- I feast with those I starved with

- Days become decades

- I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain it to you

- He who angers you conquers you

- If you are fortunate, build a longer table, not a higher fence
