Conflicting Proverbs



Actions speak louder than words.<---->The pen is mightier than the sword.
Knowledge is power.<---->Ignorance is bliss.
Look before you leap.<---->He who hesitates is lost.
A silent man is a wise one.<---->A man without words is a man without thoughts.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.<---->Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Clothes make the man.<---->Don't judge a book by its cover.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.<---->Better safe than sorry.
Money talks.<---->Talk is cheap.
The only thing constant is change.<---->The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Two heads are better than one.<---->If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Many hands make light work.<---->Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Great minds think alike.<---->Fools seldom differ.
Birds of a feather flock together.<---->Opposites attract.
The bigger, the better.<---->The best things come in small packages.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.<---->Out of sight, out of mind.
What will be, will be.<---->Life is what you make it.
Cross your bridges when you come to them.<---->Forewarned is forearmed.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.<---->One man's meat is another man's poison.
With age comes wisdom.<---->Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings come all wise sayings.
The more, the merrier.<---->Two's company; three's a crowd.
