Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Avoid bringing up past issues that will only cause trouble again.
Examples
- Let sleeping dogs lie — don't drag that old argument back into this dinner.
- I asked about the billing mix-up once and it turned into a scene; next time I'll let sleeping dogs lie.
- Should I bring up what happened at the reunion, or is it better to let sleeping dogs lie?
