Contrary Proverbs

All good things come to those who wait.
Time and tide wait for no man.

The pen is mightier than the sword.
Actions speak louder than words.

Wise men think alike.
Fools seldom differ.

The best things in life are free .
There's 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 a feather flock together.
Opposites attract.

Don't cross your bridges before you come to them.
Forewarned is forearmed.

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

Great starts make great finishes.
It ain't over 'till it's over.

Silence is golden.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

You're never too old to learn.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks

What's 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.
Many hands make light work.

Hold fast to the words of your ancestors.
Wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them.
