"Even A Worm Will Turn"...
Used to convey the message that even the meekest or most docile of creatures will retaliate or seek revenge if pushed too far. Origin: The phrase was first recorded in a 1546 collection of proverbs by John Heywood, in the form "Treade a worme on the tayle, and it must turne agayne." |
