Blood is thicker than water. ... The quote comes from: The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. This actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Although we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn't refer to family at all.

I'm aware of that, but I hate the fact that it's regularly referred to in order to decide that I'm a terrible person for having cut ties with a brother and my parents.

"Money doesn't buy happiness"

The fuck it doesn't. I mean technically no, it doesn't directly buy an emotion, but that's stickler talk. Money is directly involved in the acquisition of happiness.

"Money is the root of all evil"

I don't think that saying actually explains every genocide throughout history. Also homicide was a much more common cause of death back in the hunter-gatherer times than it is today in terms of percentages.

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but most anyone who uses this quote is a snob and probably a hypocrite who routinely votes against freedoms and expressions they themselves disagree with. e.g. I have known soldiers to voice support for a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.
