I suspect that the origin of the expression, unless it was uttered by some famous person like Shakespeare or used in the Bible, has probably been lost. I guess it could be attributed to that prolific writer of poetry and sayings referred to as Anonymous.
On another subject, not my call, but I'd like to suggest Monmouth for this coming weekend's venue as it has 3 graded stakes and I wonder, if we could also tack on the Ohio Derby?
