Lead You by the Nose

Etymology:

• We know that when we tame animals, they are often lead by their nose by attaching a ring or loop in their noses such as bears in circus and different cattle in the fields. This expression originated from Bible (Isaiah 37:29) and later in the 170 A.D in one of Greek book.
