A phrase typically used to indicate that having too much of a "good thing" generally becomes a bad thing, and you're gonna have a bad time.
This applies to pretty much everything - even seemingly normal everyday habits - as well as more obvious examples like food, sex, drugs (especially alcohol), and, hell, even water.
All of them can be good, and they often are. But too much of any one of them will always lead to negative and painful consequences, some sooner than others. Especially if you're actively trying to ignore those consequences by continuing to over-use said "good thing" - all you're doing is just putting off that pain until later... because you're still gonna have to deal with it eventually. Somehow, someday, it's gonna bite you in the ass, and the longer you push it off, the harder it's gonna bite. Could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually...
In fact, people are very frequently utterly destroyed by good things.
The difference between medicine and poison is always in the dosage.

There's really no such thing as "too much of a good thing," because once you start reaching levels of "too much"... then whatever you're doing, it ain't a "good thing" anymore.

Get the German Things mug.(If you speak German you will or should know what this is already!)
Kannst du Deutsch dann hättest du wohl schon gewußt worum es hier geht, dir kőnnte ich keinen großeren Hinweis als dieser Satz bieten! ;) Verstehst du nun?!
A spider! A spinny thing is a spider!
(Eine Spinne!!! Ein spinnendes Ding! Ein spinnendes Spinneding!)
Makes sense dunnit? Its that horrific looking 8 legged arachnid thingie that spins webs and makes you scream when it crawls up your leg!
In German its 'die Spinne' pronunciation is (more or less) 'd spinny'.

1. I really hate those spinny things! Crush them any time I see a Spinny Thing!
2. The French calls their peanuts "l'arachide" look awfully like "l'arachnids" dunnit, an intentional pun (peanuts do taste and smell like spinny things except the spinny things are million times worse) :p
3. Spin goes the spinny thing spinny spin spin <stomp> the spinny' thing spins no more! Huge spinny thing that was!
4. The Germans called it a 'Spinne' from the beginning because that is what it is! It's only logical to call a Spinny Thing a 'Spinne' but if its up to me I would call it 'die Spinnendesache' or 'das Spinnendeding' ie 'the Spinny Thing' to make it complete!
