too good to be true

Exaggeratedly optimistic; seeming so wonderful that something must be wrong with it. This cautious view is undoubtedly even older than its first expression in English, in the sixteenth century. Nevertheless, it has been repeated in the same form ever since, with only such slight variations as Mark Twain’s, “It’s too good for true, honey, it’s too good for true” (Huckleberry Finn, 1884). Shaw played on the expression in the title of his 1932 play Too True to Be Good. See also too much of a good thing.
