Origin

This idiom was used as early as 600 B.c. as by the Greek poet Sappho. Its earliest known recorded use in English is 1711 by writer Joseph Addison. The expression draws on the metaphor of a dog biting its master, just as in the example from Aesop’s Fables, above.

The term "never bite the hand that feeds you" means don't act negatively towards a person who provides for you. (It is also commonly seen as "Don't bite the hand that feeds you.")

The origin of this proverb is unknown, but it was used as early as 1718 (evidence). A version of the saying was used on several occasions by British politician Edmund Burke, who served as a member of Parliament (MP) between 1766 and 1794. Burke used similar words to today's proverb to warn his fellow MPs that the electorate was fickle and would quickly turn against the government (the "hand" that feeds the people) if things went wrong.
