First of all, I completely agree with your argument in of itself. That being said, would you mind being a little more specific, because from what I understood you’re implying one or some of this common sayings come from quotations by a particular author, could you be so kind to tell me which particular quotation/s you are talking about and by who were they written, so I can then according to the context of the ideological world of said author and of the particular piece in which these things were said, better understand this common saying (which you say come from quotations by a particular author)?
