List Change - Contradictory Sayings

1. Look before you leap

He who hesitates is lost


2. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again

Don't beat your head against a brick wall


3. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Out of sight, out of mind


4. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today

Don't cross the bridge until you come to it


5. Two heads are better than one

Paddle your own canoe


6. More haste less speed

Time waits for no man


7. You're never too old to learn

You can't teach an old dog new tricks


8. A word to the wise is sufficient

Talk is cheap


9. It's better to be safe than sorry

Nothing ventured, nothing gained


10. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts


11. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you

Nice guys finish last


12. Hitch your wagon to a star

Don't bite off more than you can chew


13. Many hands make light work

Too many cooks spoil the broth


14. Don't judge a book by its cover

Clothes make the man


15. The squeaking wheel gets the grease

Silence is golden


16. Birds of a feather flock together

Opposites attract


17. The pen is mightier than the sword

Actions speak louder than words
