Where it comes from
The oldest version is French & from the 1700s: swallow a toad every morning & nothing worse can happen to you all day.
Somewhere along the way the toad became a frog & the quote got pinned on Mark Twain, who likely never said it.
Productivity coach Brian Tracy made it famous with his 2001 book, Eat That Frog!
- Quote Investigator, “Eat a Live Frog Every Morning” (2013)
- Brian Tracy, Eat That Frog! (2001)
