[General] A constant guest is never welcome.

Hi.

I wonder if "A constant guest is never welcome" is an English idiom. I thought it was translated from Chinese; I'm not sure.

If it's an English idiom, I think the meaning is clear in itself, is it still okay to use by its literal sense?

It isn't an idiom that I've heard.

That was certainly news to me.

New to me. I know the Benjsamin Franklin one about guests being like fish and going off after three days.
