These expressions all are from the same source so as you read them see if you can figure out where they originated.
A finger in every pie
Born with a silver spoon in one's mouth
Forewarned is forearmed
Give the devil his due
Honesty is the best policy
Mum's the word
No love lost
The pot calling the kettle black
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
The sky's the limit
A stone's throw
Smell a rat
Thank you for nothing
Time out of mind
Turn over a new leaf
Too much of a good thing
Wild-goose chase
A word to the wise is sufficient
The answer is Don Quixote!! This story was written in two volumes between 1605-1615. It seems amazing to me that these phases are still in use today.
