"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger"
Always thought this was slightly stupid. I'm not sure many people would become stronger after a very serious car accident for example ?

I don't think it's referencing accidents... more like physical or emotional hardships/challenge. For example: a heartbreak from a failed relationship or an intense session of exercise.
 
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." The Godfather (1972)

True. It's funny to take some of them literally though. Like the other famous saying, "Money doesn't make you happy".
 
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Gone with the Wind (1939)
 
"You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."
 
"If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now." Master Shifu
