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?

Over here in Brazil, I guess because we're a third world country that is more accustomed to poverty than the anglosphere/yurop, we have a variant of this phrase:
"Money can't buy you happiness -- But the lack of it will take your happiness away"
It's true that you can be extremely rich and still fucking depressed.
But if you can't afford rent, and/or are working by day to pay for a small meal at night, and/or are getting sick and just tanking it because actual care is outside your paygrade -- You are guaranteed to be miserable.
From Peru, I completely agree.
