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?

The reality is usually that whatever doesn't kill you, maims you for life.

That sounds too broad. The vast majority of things in my life haven't killed me but also haven't maimed me. Some of it even has made me stronger, such as various things at a few gyms I've been to.
