Folk Wisdom That Isn't True
Okay, I'm a mooch. A literary mooch.
I need bits of folk wisdom...or, basically sayings you hear, that really aren't true or aren't always true. Stuff people believe and pass around.
A relationship version of what I'm looking for is, "If she cheated with you, she'll cheat on you."
Perhaps some of you believe that, but it's actually not necessarily true.
Here's another example:
Nietzsche's "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger" is another example, you could respond "Drink poison and your liver is fucked for life."
I'm looking for Snopes/Urban myth type beliefs/quotes as well.
Any help you can give me in this matter would be much appreciated.
