What's a phrase you hear a lot, but disagree with?

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?

Oh? They both read to me as "We can't change the past, only the future".

I personally would only use the original phrase to imply what you're saying. This is why context matters so much I think; some people just use it as a thought terminating cliche, I'm afraid.
