"What does not kill you makes you stronger."

Statistically that which almost kills you leaves you weaker, with PTSD, and medical bills.

On a brighter note, whatever kills you,makes you dead.

'Money can't buy happiness'.

The saying itself is true enough - it's about greed and it is meant to mean that however much wealth you have you can't buy your way to happiness. Being a millionaire, or a billionaire won't necessarily make you happy.

However, people badly misuse it almost as a refrain for those who are destitute - as if they don't deserve any more and it won't make them happy. It's that which is utter bulls***.

Because, being able to afford healthcare, to feed your family, a roof over your head and to not everyday have a gnawing, desperate anxiety and unending stress about whether you can afford to live each week will make someone a f***-ton happier than the alternative. And that's nothing to do with greed.

Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Wounds heal, but words can crush a spirit. They hurt far worse.

“It takes two to fight.” Not if someone is intent on bullying/harassing someone else. The policy where both people are punished is grossly unfair.

"If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best"

Basically emotionally manipulating people to live with your s*** because you may give them something better someday. Highly recommend considering breaking off these kind of people from your life.

"Don't judge a book by its cover"

That cover has one damn job and it's to convey to me what is in the book so I don't have to read all 600 pages to know if it was my cook book or Harry Potter.

Time heals all wounds. No. Not all. At least not in 1 lifetime.

For some wounds, they never heal, just only dulled.

'The lightning never strikes twice in the same spot'

Yes, it does. Especially if that spot is a high metal structure, it will be struck twice, even more than just two times.

They often do. Doesn’t mean cheating should be encouraged though.

Basically, as has been pointed out, many of the common sayings we use only use part of the actual idiom. My personal cringe inducing one is "Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ."

The second half means the exact opposite of just saying "Great minds think alike.."

This seems to be the case with a lot of our usage.
