Go with the flow 

<verb> Colloquial expression;
To 'go with the flow' means to not have a particularly strong opinion on something, and thus follow the majority.

==> First known to be used by the Roman Emperor Marcus Arelius (yes, the one from Gladiator) in his writings 'the Meditations.' Marcus wrote a lot about the flow of thoughts and happiness and he concluded that "most things flow naturally" and in his opinion it was better to "Go with the Flow" than to try and change society.
