I'm a fan of cliches — when it comes to phrases, not movies! They may be overused, but I appreciate how easily they manage to sum something up that can feel impossible to verbalize otherwise. And though some are incredibly silly, others seem scarily applicable in everyday life. So in honor of cliches, I've decided to list some of the phrases that ring the most true to me. Check them out and see if you agree.
- Love is blind.
- It takes two to tango.
- Misery loves company.
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- Too little, too late.
To see the rest, read more.
- Actions speak louder than words.
- Two wrongs don't make a right.
- Never say never.
- Laughter is the best medicine.
- People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Feel free to add your own below!

I agree with your list Dear especially #1-5!
I have used #5 a few times!
1*The early bird gets the worm
*Dont put off till tommorow what you can do today
*the squeeky wheel gets the grease
*you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
2My favorite is
"Everything happens for a reason"
"You get what you pay for"
I live by those! LMAO
3I live by "actions speak louder than words" and "never day never".
4*SAY
5I agree with a lot of them, especially:
*Misery loves company.
*Actions speak louder than words.
6#6 is so very true!
7Unfortunately love has never been blind for me. When it comes to love I have 20/20 vision which is sooo annoying.
8It's the same way for me, moonwater! Sigh sigh. I agree with these:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
9Too little, too late.
Actions speak louder than words.
Never say never.
Laughter is the best medicine.
I prefer:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
even tho its the same as your #1.
10People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
These happen to be my mother's favorite cliches.
I like "if you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas." My mother also has told me this a thousand times.
11"Actions speak louder than words" That's so true!!!!
12And "love is blind".
My number 1 cliche is "Everything happens for a reason."
j2e1n9, I don't think Dear's #1 pick (Love is blind) is the same as "Beauty is the eye of the beholder." I agree with yours, j2e1n9, because I may think a guy is attractive but my friend might consider him to be ugly. It all depends...I don't think that Love is blind. Sometimes a guy can be great, but if you're not attracted to him, then you shouldn't be in a relationship.
But I do find most of the other cliches to be true.
13shape up or ship out
1 aw sh*t cancels 10,000 that-a-boys
gotta love navy phrases
14'be careful what you wish for - you just might get it'
15'it's not what you know but who you know'
Time heals all wounds. (so true, so hard to hear!)
Breaking up is hard to do. (okay, that one's just for a laugh)
16"Time heals all wounds"
17When you're heartbroken those are the last words you want to hear. But it really is true.
Sometimes time wounds all heals.
18the love is blind thing isnt the same as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
its more that you cant help who you fall in love with. you might fall in love with someone who doesnt have the same idea for the future (marriage, kids) but you cant help but love them.
its not so much to do with beauty.
i know i have one that i love, but i cant remember it right now!!!
19what comes around goes around. it's all about the karma
20the walls have ears
21be careful what you wish for
All true
I love what comes around goes around...its so true and comforting
22I agree with 1,2,3,6,8,10 and am not sure about 9. Numbers 4,5,and 7 are not true to me. As 3 Days Grace Say it's never too late. Sometimes two wrongs can make a right, it all depends on the situation and sometimes things need fixing even if they aren't completely broken like when certain parts work and some don't.
23All very true, also, "What goes around, comes around" o and "Karma is a b*tch" haha
24In regards to being fooled: The first time shame on you, the second time shame on me, the third time does not exist.
Not all those who wander are lost.
When you go out trying to find who you are, don't lose yourself in the process.
Success is simply making a habit of doing things unsuccessful people refuse to do.
