Barry G’s Xpressions

I found a number of common used Expression to actually be not true or less true and have developed my new Xpressions for lack of a better term.
Tell me what you think.
Thanks

* It seems that the expression “…all that glitters is not gold…” might not be a valid description of reality after all, and maybe my new
* Xpression “…Collect all that glitters, because it is emotional gold…” might hold more truth.
** Mentioned in Article – THINGS we call THINGS, that collect us!

* expression “…things catch the eye…” is literally true, and maybe my new Xpression “…Things that catch the eye, have caught your heart or mind…”, could be more true.
** Mentoned in Article – THINGS we call THINGS, that collect us!

* expression “…sticks & stones will hurt my bones but words will never harm me…” seems to be wrong as the opposite is true that you will recover from physical wounds, easily but from word abuse with difficulty, so my new Xpression “…Sticks & stones will hurt my bones, but words mortally harm me…” seems more closer to reality.
