The grass is always greener on the other side
This is probably the most famous saying in several languages. I think it is very good expression actually. There are so many people who live in their own little bubble they don't know what they are missing, and they complain about life. The grass is always greener, it doesn't have to be so dull for everyone. Or when someone is depressed or is going through something, it always gets better. You just have to fight until the very end because it will get greener.
I think this is true to an extent. People act out the way they want to so it becomes true for people only watching on the outside, but when one digs a little deeper in a person, there is more to the person than what is normally shown.
Blood is thicker than water
No, well yes but I don't think that's an excuse to choose family first. It is all about respect and who's treated you the best. I feel like in many of my situations I would rather talk to my friends about things but at the end of the day, it is in fact family that won't change but friends do. But I find that a friend can become family too and you don't share blood there. People who aren't treated fairly by family shouldn't choose blood over water just because they happen to be born with a bad seed.
Everything happens for a reason
No. I do not believe this is true. There is no reason for a girl to get raped, or for someone to be brutally murdered or for a healthy young person to get cancer or some other sickness.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
Yes, this is a beautiful phrase. Because no matter what someone has been through, no matter how hard it has been, it is the reason for that person being who they are today. And when someone looses something precious, it is important to remember it as something amazing while it lasted because that is the only way to happiness.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
I don't about this one actually. I'd say keep them both close because no matter what happens with the enemy, you will need your friends there at the end of the day. But I don't personally have any enemies so I wouldn't really know.
It ain't over til' it's over
How is this even a saying? It is so like duuuh.... Of course it isn't over until it is over.
What glitters isn't always gold
Yes, this can be very true. Not everything is as it seems. Something can seem glamorous and wonderful on the outside but then on the inside it's just dark and cold. I guess that don't judge a book by it's cover works both ways,
Actions speak louder than words
Well yeah. Talk is just talk most of the times and actually doing is what counts. Like if I went around and told everyone what it is like jumping bungee jump without ever doing it, my words mean nothing but I have done it which was an action and I think that my experience speaks for itself.
Experience is the best teacher
Absolutely. Someone can stand there in front of me and tell me all the basic facts but I won't really know the truth about something until I see for myself. Experiencing something in real life is the only way that you can truly get a feeling for something, no text book can give you that.
You don't know what you have until it is gone
I think that being able to really live in the moment and cherish what one has, is a very rare gift. People often don't realize how lucky they are to have something until it is gone. That's why memories are so great, because they give you a way to always hold on to something special and love it at the same time.
Once a cheater always a cheater
Well I believe that someone who cheats is just too immature for a relationship, and if they cheat on one person they will most likely follow the pattern they have created themselves. But I am also a believer in soul mates and when a "cheater" meets that one person, I think they will treat that person differently. I guess there is a thin line between never and always. Just like you should never say never, you shouldn't either say always.
