As i live and breathe
for sure, definitely, as in as i live and breathe, i’ve never seen a more beautiful view. this expression is generally used to emphasize the truth of a statement and has been so used since the mid-1600s, although sometimes it was put simply as as i live. however, the complete phrase was also used early on, as in arthur murphy’s 1756 play the apprentice (2:1): “as i live and breathe, we shall both be taken, for heaven’s sake let us make our escape.”
