The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

Refers to the way we tend to look at other people’s lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose colored glasses.

Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you’re just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own.
Friend#1: You’re so lucky, you went to a great college, have money and you’re so smart and will probably accomplish more by the time you’re 30 then I will in my entire life.

Friend#2: Are you serious? I’ve always envied you. People expect so much out of me. I’ve never been able to have a life because of studying and other schoolwork. If I get less then an A, people freak out like I got an F. I may accomplish that much, but with all the pressure on me I’ll probably be insane by the time I’m 35. In so many ways, I wish I could just be a regular guy with normal expectations and a normal life.

Friend#1: Wow, I honestly never looked at it that way. I guess it's true that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

see you on the other side

See you again after a major objective has been achieved.

This phrase may originate with the Apollo 8 mission, the first time in history humans had passed behind the other side of the moon from earth.
CapCom Gerry Carr spoke to the three astronauts more than 200,000 miles away, "Ten seconds to go. You are GO all the way." Command Module Pilot James Lovell replied, "We'll see you on the other side", and Apollo 8 disappeared behind the Moon, the first time in history men had been occulted. For 34 minutes there would be no way of knowing what happened.

see you on the other side

A form of bidding farewell to a close friend or relative when you know that the probability of ever meeting them again in the future is slim and exceedingly marginal, or when you will cease all contact with the aforementioned individual for a considerable time without sitreps.

The phrase was first brought to public attention after Jim Lovell, aboard Apollo 8, uttered the phrase before going dark behind the Moon for 34 minutes. It was later popularized by mainstream media, such as books or films, where the phrase is occasionally used..
Gerry Carr: "Ten seconds to go. You are go all the way."

Jim Lovell: "We'll see you on the other side."

see you on the other side

To meet up after an action or a mission is over.
As in "See you on the other side." spoken to Jason Bourne by Conklin in one of the Berlin flashbacks. Conklin says it to Bourne as Bourne is leaving the car to assassinate Neski and his wife.
