This is a new #saying for me, and I can't find any references to it in Google books or on the web in general. #Crawford is from #Omaha, so maybe it's a saying in #Nebraska considering the states #agriculture activities. It implies to me that one is making a commotion to get whatever it is one wants to come out of talk.

If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
If ifs and but were pots and pans there would be no need for tinkers.
Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Penny wise and pound foollish.
Watch the pennies and the pounds look after themselves.

All That's Interesting: Did Marie Antoinette Really Say ‘Let Them Eat Cake?’ The Truth About One Of History’s Biggest Myths
https://allthatsinteresting.com/let-them-eat-cake
I don't think that expression will ever go away though. It's taken on a life of its own to express discontent with the haves vs. have-nots.

So if a girl grows up thinking she might be a boy just because she likes sports and cars and later realizes she's just a tomboy, transgender people are not to blame. Bigoted cisgender people are.
Transgender people supported her from the very beginning. Bigoted cisgender people made her think something was wrong with her."

jeder Mensch ist furchtbar schlecht,
ein jederman ein Bösewicht,
nur du und ich natürlich nicht."
- Content owner forgotten
it translates like:
My dear friend you are right,
every human is terribly mad,
an everyone an evil man,
for sure, you and me not.

"Strike the hammer while the iron is hot." --- #BobMarley's #MellowMood^1 came to mind with today's saying on the day-by-day calendar.
> 鉄は熱いうちに打て
#Proverb
The monthly calendar has advice of the day's Rage Against The War Machine participants. Even in rage we need a little calm part, I guess.
> Keep your mind peaceful
> 自分の心を安らかに保とう
