They certainly do come in handy.
I don’t like them when people throw them at me. It just means they’re not bothering to either listen to me or to think about a reply. Often times they’re just appropriate. As I started walking this morning, I looked at the sky. It was dull, gray and uniform. I found myself saying, “Yes, but the glory of the Lord shines through.” How trite. How common. How true. There’s a reason why so many clichés have been going so long. That may be why some people can read the same books over and over again.
