The expression "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" what does it mean?
By admin on Dec. 20, 2009.
I hear the saying from time to time, but I never
really gave it any thought until now.
This proverb is based on the fact that a horse’s value is determined by his age, which, in turn, can be roughly determined by an examination of his teeth. The message conveyed is that a gift should be appreciated for the thought and spirit behind it, not according to its value.
