What is the origin of the idiom "after one's own heart" and when to use it?

The idiom "after one's own heart" originated during the Middle Ages in English language usage. It draws upon the metaphorical concept of the heart as the center of one's emotions, desires, and character. The idea behind the expression is that when someone is "after one's own heart," they possess qualities, preferences, or values that resonate deeply with the individual. The idiom is used to describe someone who shares the same qualities, preferences, or values as the person being referred to. It is typically used to express approval, admiration, or affection for the individual. It signifies a strong sense of connection and compatibility based on shared characteristics or beliefs.

What is the origin of the idiom "devil's advocate" and when to use it?

The idiom "devil's advocate" is believed to have originated in the 16th century. It is thought to have come from the Catholic Church's canonization process, in which a church official known as the "promotor fidei" (promoter of the faith) was tasked with arguing against the canonization of a candidate. The promotor fidei's job was to play the devil's advocate, presenting all the negative evidence against the candidate in order to ensure that the decision to canonize them was made carefully and objectively. This expression is used to describe someone who intentionally takes a position that is opposed to the majority opinion in order to stimulate debate or discussion.
