Some people are good people. We want to say they are great. There is an idiom to describe good people:

• the salt of the earth

Examples:

• He's a really nice person; he's the salt of the earth.
• She's kind to everybody; she's the salt of the earth.
• He's always helping people; he's the salt of the earth.

Some people are passive; they never use violence or behave aggressively. We say:

• wouldn't hurt a fly

Examples:

• Hiro hates violence; he wouldn't hurt a fly.
• I've never seen Miki angry; she wouldn't hurt a fly.
• Ryou has never hit anyone; he wouldn't hurt a fly.
