On a wing and a prayer
Meaning

.
Cold shoulder
Meaning
A display of coldness or indifference, intended to wound. For Example, ... eminent individuals and his cabinet advisers turned "the cold shoulder" to their ambassador, for his independent act upon this occasion
Compassion fatigue
Meaning
A weariness of and diminishing public response to frequent requests for charity. For example, "More people are hungry today than ever before. Many Americans have compassion fatigue - tired out with all the repeated calls to do good
."
The course of true love never did run smooth

Literal meaning. This expression derives from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, 1595:
Curate's egg
Meaning
Something bad that is called good out of politeness or timidity.
