Proverbs & its Opposites

Status
Not open for further replies.
newton's third law states: "every action has an equal and an opposite reaction".
so it would stand to reason that every proverb has an equal and opposite proverb.




all good things come to those who wait
but
time and tide wait for none




the pen is mightier than the sword
but
actions speak louder than words




wise men think alike
but
fools seldom differ




the best things in life are free
but
there's no such thing as a free lunch




slow and steady wins the race
but
time waits for none




look before you leap
but
strike while the iron is hot




do it well, or not at all
but
half a loaf is better than none




birds of a feather flock together
but
opposites attract




don't cross your bridges before you come to them
but
forewarned is forearmed




doubt is the beginning of wisdom
but
faith will move mountains




great starts make great finishes
but
it isn't over till it's over




practice makes perfect
but
all work and no play makes jack a dull boy




silence is golden
but
the squeaky wheel gets the grease




you're never too old to learn
but
you can't teach an old dog new tricks




what's good for the goose is good for the gander
but
one man's meat is another man's poison




absence makes the heart grow fonder
but
out of sight, out of mind




too many cooks spoil the broth
but
many hands make light work




hold fast to the words of your ancestors
but
wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them
 
Let me add one more... Indian style:

Ekam Advaitam Brahman(There is Only One Absolute Reality Without a Second)

But

Ekam Sat Viprah Bahuda Vadanti(Truth is One but wise man call it many)
