OFF-TOPIC: resource for sayings

[Mike <techmail_mike -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

One of my dept. heads is giving a speech soon, and he
wants me to find the origin of the following:

"Straight from the horse's mouth"

"As a rule of thumb"

Anyone have a good resource on the Net for the origin
of some of these sayings?

TIA,
Mike
