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?

    Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you numb and traumatized, not stronger. Big difference.

      Whatever doesn’t kill you might make you stronger, but it might also make you weaker. It’s highly dependent on the circumstances.

      Jimmy Carr said it best:

      My father always said ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…until the accident.’

        I liked the quote from Dr. Hibbert on the Simpsons:

        “You know what they say, whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!”

        “Oh ho ho ho, no… It’s made you weak as a kitten!”
