What is the most insipid inspirational phrase you can think of?

There is a school in my local area who have a large banner proudly displaying the motto 'Become who you are'. I doubt that would have the power to inspire anybody. Become who you are - I already am who I am. That was a short trip!

So anybody have anything better, a more nauseatingly useless inspirational phrase? Where is it and why do you hate it?

    "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

    Really? Then cut off your arms and legs. Then show me how strong you are.

    (referring to the earthquake/tsunami) "It's times like these we must take stock of our blessings and realize how good God has been to us!"

    So you have good stuff because God loves you? And what, he hates Japanese people?

    For pure asininity, the ubiquitous "There's no I in Team" really frosts my cupcakes.
