Fall forward into the moment

Don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect. Unknown

Only you have a choice about your moments. You know which ones I'm talking about. The ones that are standing on the edge and have the potential to fall forward into greatness or crumble in defeat from fear and hesitations. Only you have the choice to decide what those moments will look like and become. There are no perfect moments, each one is presented to us for our choice so it is up to you to make it be what you want. And moments cannot be repeated. Oh we may come across moments that look similar or feel similar to the one we crumbled on but the moment that we perhaps let get away from us will never be repeated exactly. So take advantage of moments presented. Don't let fear keep you on the edge of greatness crumbled in defeat, fall forward in the moment and see what greatness will come from it.

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.

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.

More bang for your buck
