One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    This one is about accepting things for what they are rather than wasting energy wishing they were different.

        Some people do use it to excuse their actions or choices, so it’s understandable that others would have a negative view of the phrase.
