Stranger things have happened.
This is one of my favorite things to say.
It’s hopeful, but not giddy. Cautiously optimistic. Optimism for pessimists.
It’s a shrug of the shoulders, a little bit superstitious. You don’t want to be too confident but, you know…it could happen. Stranger things have.
And almost no matter what you’re talking about, it’s true. All kinds of strange stuff happens every day, so unless you’re talking about the Rapture, there’s a good chance that something stranger than whatever is under discussion has happened at some point in time.

One of my favorites too. Perfect as a reply to almost anything when you don’t know what to say, or don’t want to say what you really think. Just nod your head wisely and say it.
Ah, so true. It’s kinda like “bless your heart.”
