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 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
