Put someone on a pedestal

Pet peeve

Patience of Job

Put someone on a pedestal

Pet peeve

Patience of Job

No great shakes

New brush sweeps clean

Mighty oaks from little acorns grow

Little strokes fell great oaks

Knight in shining armour

Kid gloves

Jump through hoops

Have a ball

Hand that rocks the cradle

Great white hope

Great unwashed

Great Scott

Great guns

Goody two-shoes

Go for broke

Gnaw your vitals

Drive someone up the wall

Diamond in the rough

Derring-do

Dead man walking

Damp squib

Busted flush

Bridge the gap

Break your heart

Blind leading the blind

Best thing since sliced bread

Beggars can’t be choosers

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Women and wine, game and deceit, make the wealth small, and the wants great
