"Never Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth”

Saturday Proverb:

Proverb: "Never look a gift horse in the mouth”




Meaning: 
If someone offers you a gift, don't question it.

History / Interesting Fact:

A gift horse is a horse that was a gift, quite simply. When given a horse, it would be bad manners to inspect the horse's mouth to see if it has bad teeth. This can be applied as an analogy to any gift: Don't inspect it to make sure it matches some standard you have, just be grateful!
