Oh yes, there are a few new ones and some extra meanings, thanks

@girlwithsmiles I love old expressions and their origins. Another misquoted one was written by William Congreve in his play "The Mourning Bride." The true expression is Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
Many of Congreve's expressions that became part of the English language are mistakenly attributed to Shakespeare.
"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks or bend the knotted oak."
"Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved."
"Grief walks upon the heels of pleasure. Married in haste, we repent at leisure."
"Never go to bed angry, stay up and fight."
There are loads of them. His plays and poetry are worth reading, for the satire they contain.

@Petter Shakespeare was the former though, I was so sure he said about hell hath no fury. Might have to read some Congreve now

But yes, guillotines, ( the humane capital punishment), wasn’t around then either.
Wiki comes up with some quite different theories:
