(A Foreign Secretary) is forever poised between the cliche and the indiscretion.
Harold MacMillan

Choose something you like to do. I know it's a cliche, and you've heard it over and over. But the reason is, you're going to have to work long and hard to achieve any success. You better like it or life is going to be terrible.
Bill Kurtis

Economics is a subject profoundly conducive to cliche, resonant with boredom. On few topics is an American audience so practiced in turning off its ears and minds. And none can say that the response is ill advised.
John Kenneth Galbraith

Every cliche about kids is true; they grow up so quickly, you blink and they're gone, and you have to spend the time with them now. But that's a joy.
Liam Neeson

He is forever poised between a cliche and an indiscretion.
Harold MacMillan

I am against the whole cliche of the moment.
Herman Kahn

I don't believe that old cliche that good things come to those who wait. I think good things come to those who want something so bad they can't sit still.
Ashton Kutcher

I feel like a cliche.
Jonathan Carroll

I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.
Sally Field

I just think the word interview, although it is the view between two people exchanged, became a sort of cliche. You ask questions and the other one answers.
Maximilian Schell

I said, wouldn't it be nice, instead of having these women fight with each other over men, which seems to be more of a cliche, wouldn't it be wonderful if they were the true comrades and it took these men much more time to infiltrate their friendships.
Jennifer Beals

I think it is tragic that a situation should arise where civilians on any side are killed. But it is almost a cliche to say that it is virtually unavoidable and this isn't unique to us alone.
Joe Slovo

I think my whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche.
Beck

I think that anything that you do, any accomplishment that you make, you have to work for. And I've worked very hard in the last ten years of my life, definitely, and I can tell you that hard work pays off. It's not just a cliche.
Cameron Diaz

I think the diva is kind of a cliche. My definition of a diva is somebody whose talent does not match what they're trying to play, so all this temperament comes out.
Glenn Close

I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.
Jim Jarmusch

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon

If you want to use a cliche you must take full responsibility for it yourself and not try to fob it off on anon., or on society.
Lewis Thomas

If your mind is at work, we're in danger of reproducing another cliche. If we can keep our minds out of it and our thoughts out of it, maybe we'll come up with something original.
Peter Falk

Is "tired old cliche" one?
