When all is said and done 意為「終究，畢竟」，有時引伸為「從各方面來看，從各方面來說；總的來說」，與 at the end of the day 或 all in all 的意思相近。這個片語於 1500 年代中期首次被使用。
例句：
- When all is said and done, you can only quit while you’re ahead. (終究你只能見好就收)
- When all was said and done they were only colleagues, not buddies. (畢竟他們只是同事，不是哥們)
- When all is said and done, the new president is no better than the previous one. (從各方面來看，新總統並不比前任強)
- When all was said and done, it was a great success. (總的來說，那是極大的成功)
