Both those sentences are already correct. There is no need to change them. I wouldn't call the second one an idiom.

I wouldn't call the second one an idiom. It sounds as if it may be a minor saying (something that people often repeat), but actually there seems to be only one Google hit, at least for that exact wording, so on that reckoning it would not even count as a saying.
