From the Book of Rites, Book 18 (《禮記·學記》)

Prohibition of evil after it has been manifested meets with opposition, and is not successful. Instruction given after the time for it is past is done with toil, and carried out with difficulty. The communication of lessons in an undiscriminating manner and without suitability produces injury and disorder, and fails in its object. Learning alone and without friends makes one feel solitary and uncultivated, with but little information. Friendships of festivity lead to opposition to one's master. Friendships with the dissolute lead to the neglect of one's learning. These six things all tend to make teaching vain.

The Book of Rites, c. 4ᵗʰ – 2ⁿᵈ century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

Fā ránhòu jìn, zé hàngé ér bùshèng; shí guò ránhòu xué, zé qínkǔ ér nánchéng; záshī ér bùxùn, zé huàiluàn ér bùxiū; dú xué ér wú yǒu, zé gūlòu ér guǎwén; yàn péng nì qí shī; yàn pì fèi qí xué. Cǐ liù zhě, jiào zhīsuǒyóu fèi yě.

發然後禁，則捍格而不勝；時過然後學，則勤苦而難成；雜施而不孫，則壞亂而不修；獨學而無友，則孤陋而寡聞；燕朋逆其師；燕辟廢其學。此六者，教之所由廢也。

I'm rubber, you're glue

Likely from a longer phrase, "I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you".

“You’re nothing but a — a cheat,” Florence said.
“I’m rubber, you’re glue, everything you say sticks right back to you,” John said calmly, complete master with all the answers.

1948, Daniel Curley, “A Deal in Cards”, in The Atlantic Magazine, volume 181, Atlantic Monthly Co., page 61:

Few anticommunist accusations are more trite than that Marxism is a religion, the Manifesto a religious tract and Marx himself[…] a ‘religious eschatologist’. At a banal level, to many of the accusers can be said in retort: I am rubber, you are glue.

2022, China Miéville, chapter 6, in A Spectre, Haunting: On the Communist Manifesto, →OCLC:

And in the 2016 campaign, Mr. Trump applied the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” approach to a wide range of vulnerabilities.

too bad, so sad

Parents will have to be told what they need and then informed that, too bad, so sad, the needed service will not be developed until their child is too old for it anyway.

In short, too bad. So sad. we've got your money, and you've been had.

They just say 'too bad, so sad, bye bye.' And it is too bad, cause maybe they weren't being jerks or we could solve the problem easily.

From a reanalysis of quid nōmen tibī̆ est (“what is your name?”), where the pronominal interrogative quid (“what”) was hypercorrected to the adnominal determiner quod (“which”), perhaps caused by the progressively increasing confusion between the two paradigms.
