About a week or two ago I was doing a google on two sayings. There are "Mad as a hatter", and "Give them the whole nine yards". Here is a link that I found interesting. I cut from this page quite a few sayings that are attributed to one person. I don't know if I believe it or not. Some may have been the sayings of the day and this person got them down on paper. Also I have heard one of the sayings attributed to Ben Franklin on this list. By the way this person was not responsible for comming up with the two sayings I was looking for. There are more of the sayings at the link, but here are ones that I have heard over the course of my life. I bet some can guess this person quickly, and its not Yogi Bera who said "The future is not what it use to be". So you are going to have to look to the past.

A dish fit for the gods
A fool's paradise
A foregone conclusion
A plague on both your houses
A sea change
A sorry sight
All that glitters is not gold / All that glisters is not gold
All's well that ends well
As dead as a doornail
As pure as the driven snow
At one fell swoop
Beware the ides of March
But, for my own part, it was Greek to me
Dash to pieces
Discretion is the better part of valour
Eaten out of house and home
Et tu, Brute
Fancy free
Fie, foh, and fum, I smell the blood of a British man
Fight fire with fire
For ever and a day
Foul play
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears
Good riddance
He will give the Devil his due
Heart's content
I have not slept one wink
I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
In a pickle
In stitches
Lie low
Love is blind
Make your hair stand on end
Much Ado about Nothing
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Now is the winter of our discontent
Off with his head
Out of the jaws of death
Pound of flesh
Primrose path
Rhyme nor reason
Send him packing
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Such stuff as dreams are made on
The Devil incarnate
The game is up
There's method in my madness
This is the short and the long of it
Though this be madness, yet there is method in it
To be or not to be, that is the question
Too much of a good thing
Up in arms
Vanish into thin air
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
We have seen better days
Wild goose chase
Woe is me
