💠 Several expressions which could be of some use:
♠️ generic platitude
A platitude is a phrase of, usually, moral meaning that's been overused and lost its power. "Nobody's perfect", "take it easy", "good things come to them who wait", "life is life" etc. You hear them and yes, you understand them, but often times phrases like that don't do any good and are just annoying clichés.
♥️ to stonewall somebody
Means to refuse to communicate with someone, to give someone 'the silent treatement'.
♣️ a contingency plan
There's "the plan" and "the plan B" - what to do when something unexpected or unpredicted happens. So "the plan B" can be replaced with the expression above.
♦️ a life well-lived
The expression is interesting not because of its meaning (it's plain), but the way it's built. It offers a model that one can use to express many things:
- to live a life -> a life well-lived
- to feed a rat -> a rat well-fed
- to draw up a plan -> a plan well-drawn
- to sing a song -> a song well-sung
- to cook a meal -> a meal well-cooked
- to say the words -> the words well-said, and so on.
