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?

    “If you can’t take me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.”

      “If you can’t take me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.”
