Fire Power

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.  Ferdinand Foch

What makes the biggest differences in our worlds are human souls on fire to address the injustice we witness.  It's the most powerful weapon we each own.  A soul on fire is what defends the widow and the orphan.  A soul on fire is what gives our lives purpose.  If your soul isn't on fire for something other than your favorite TV show then what kind of life are you really living?  Want to be powerful?  Let your soul be set on fire.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck
