The best things in life are free; The bigger they are, the harder they fall; The boy is father to the man; The bread never falls but on its buttered side; The child is the father of the man; The cobbler always wears the worst shoes; The comeback is greater than the setback; The course of true love never did run smooth
An idiom is a common word or phrase with a figurative, non-literal meaning that is understood culturally and differs from what its composite words' denotations would suggest; i.e. the words together have a meaning that is different from the dictionary definitions of the individual words (although some idioms do retain their literal meanings – see the example "kick the bucket" below).
