What's an old saying that's totally cliche, but continues to be used?

"Blood is thicker than water"
The full saying is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb"
Meaning your church family in Christ is stronger than you Blood family. Unfortunately I've experienced this firsthand, my church family loves me more than my real one
Ergh. “It is what it is.” It’s an enabling phrase to let people get away with bad behaviour. I’d go into a rant about family members, but no one needs that negativity!
‘We are all in the same boat’.
No, we may all be in a boat but some people are on cruise liners, some on yachts, some in a speed boat, a rubber dinghy, a raft and like myself, a pedalo with a hole in it.
“If you can’t beat them, join them.” Why would I join a group of people that I’m diametrically opposed to?
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” When there’s always room for improvement? This is common in the workplace when they just keep rolling with the agony the old-schoolers have gotten used to.
“Money can’t buy happiness.” Give me a substantial amount of cash, and watch how quickly my mood improves. It’s not the money itself, but the difficulties it could get me out of.
