Contrary Proverbs





All good things come to those who wait. / Time and tide wait for none.

The pen is mightier than the sword. / Action speaks louder than the words.

Wise men think alike. / Fools seldom differ.

The best things in life are free. / There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Slow and steady wins the race. / Time waits for no man.

Look before you leap. / Strike while the iron is hot.

Do it well or not at all. / Half a   loaf is better than   none.

Birds of feather flock together. / Opposites attract.

Don’t cross the bridge before you reach. / Fore warned is fore armed.

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. / Faith will move mountains.

Great start makes great finishes. / It isn’t over   till it’s over.

Practice makes perfect. /All work and no play make jack a dull boy

Silence is golden./ The squeaky wheels get the grease.

You are never too old to learn. / You can’t teach an old dog new trick.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. / One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. / Out of sight, out of mind.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. / Hold fast to the words of your ancestors
 
Wise man makes proverb and fools repeat them.
