That which does not kill you ... probably isn't close enough, so just start running.

About This Quote

The phrase "that which does not kill you ... probably isn't close enough" is actually one of the most popular clichés in the English language. It's a sentence that's been around for ages, but it's still funny today. As you can tell if you think about it, it's a bit of a paradox. The words are just the right amount of negative to make you laugh, but not quite mean enough to make you feel bad.
