Clichéd!

Don't dismiss the cliché! Often times, it is a cliché simply because it is so true!

cli‧ché  –noun
a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse

The 'long overuse' is at times indicative of the fact, that a lot of people have recognised the truth in the statement. It may have lost originality, but it certainly hasn't lost its value.

A few cliché's worth their salt:

• Everything that happens, happens for the good.
• A friend in need is a friend indeed.
• Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone.
• Silence is golden.
• Imitation is the best form of flattery.
• God helps those who help themselves.
• Attitude is everything.
