> Blood is never thicker than water. I've heard that the original version of this saying is "the blood of the covenant runs thicker than the water is the womb", which would mean pretty much the opposite of the original. Whether it's true or not, I prefer that version.

That version has no basis in history, nor does it make much sense if you think about it. That said, I agree with your sentiment, just wish there was a more well known quote conveying it.
