What is the most overused cliché?

What is the most overused cliché? 

Terrorism aimed solely at property destruction is better than terrorism targeting human lives.  Let me be clear, though—neither is acceptable! I must assume, though, that terrorists do what they do for reasons they feel are justified.  For example, if someone—or a group of someones—planned to blow up an oil pipeline as an act of eco-terrorism, they must believe the result of their actions will be worth the risks. Perhaps they feel it’s the only method left available to them of demonstrating their beliefs: long-term environmental health is more important than short-term personal wealth.  Which brings me to How to Blow Up a Pipeline.  The title makes it sound like either a documentary, or a how-to video on an eco-terrorism YouTube channel. But nope—it’s a movie. A group of eight or so highly motivated, minimally skilled individuals team up to devise, plan, and execute exactly what the movie’s title would suggest.  The film creates an “If those idiots can do it, so can we” feel. To me, How to Blow Up a Pipeline is less an environmental activist film, more a reminder of that overused cliché:
