Shakespeare coined the phase when he wrote in As You Like It: "Can one desire too much of a good thing?," meaning that excess of any one thing may do you harm.

Too large an amount of a beneficial or useful thing or activity can be harmful or excessive. (Source: Dictionary.com)

even if something is nice in small amount it doesn't have to be nice in a huge amount. Drinking ONE glass of water is nice, having to drink a bucket isn't as fun. Also drinking too much water at one time can actually kill you, even though without drinking any can kill you.
