: Are you familiar with the phrase and do you know the origin of: "To a man with a hammer, a lot of things look like a nail."?
The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations lists this as "late 20th century saying, mainly North American". In other words, no known originator, just a recently-coined proverb. (VSD)
