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?

    “everything has pros and cons”

    I usually give the CGP Grey’s legendary answer: “…but it’s hardly ever the case that all the pros and all the cons all PERFECTLY balance each other out, right?”

      I always assumed that’s what the saying was alluding to? That of you’re unsure about something, then you should weigh both the pros and cons and use what you learned to make a decision. At least that’s how I’ve always thought of it
