What supposedly deep and profound phrases sound like utter nonsense to you? Why?

Asked by Sneki95 (7017points) April 5th, 2017

I once heard a phrase “We’re all naked under the clothes”. While it was probably supposed to mean that we are all the same, vulnerable people despite out outer appearance, it just sounded like saying ‘people die when they are killed” to me.

There are some other phrases too, like “love knows no limits” or “you can be whatever you want” that, while sounding inspirational and poetic, are simply complete bs in my ears.

Do you have any famous, supposedly profound sayings that you disagree with, or simply find stupid?
