This is not an idiom. It means just what it seems to mean. It's a proverb. And it's also a sentence already.

If you mean by adding more details then I strongly suggest you lease well alone, you may alter the whole meaning of the proverb. My suggestion is to fully understand what the writer is saying. There may be symbolic meanings in the work that need to be understood. Certain phrasings may need to be comprehended, for what was meant when the proverb was written may not mean the same thing today. Who is the proverb talking to and does it apply to you.
