There are so many of these, you know what I mean, those annoying one-liners that wise-asses spout at you when what you really need is some down-home-cooked advice, and not useless CRAP that doesn't mean shite.
My favorites:
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Actually...
When your cancer goes into remission it doesn't make you stronger, it makes you AFRAID.
When you lose your family it makes you ALONE.
When you get shot at you lose your NERVE (cells, as in all along your spine for example, which leaves you in a wheel chair).
"Happiness is a journey not a destination."
If happiness were a journey it would be an action verb.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."
Next time you quote that be aware that the phrase was coined by the IRA.
"No news is good news!"
Say you lose your dog and no one calls for hours despite its being too fugly to steal and it's wearing it's dog tags and implanted microchip. That usually means it's been hit by a car and no one's gonna man up to that.
"Time heals all wounds."
It doesn't.
"I've found God!"
According to the literature, God's not the one who was lost...!
Yeah, that.
