Interesting Proverb Pairs

He who hesitates is lost.
Look before you leap.

Birds of a feather flock together.
Opposites attract.

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

Ask no questions and hear no lies.
Ask and you shall receive.

Don't change horses in midstream.
Variety is the spice of life.

Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.
Faith will move mountains.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Two heads are better than one.

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

Don't cross the bridge till you come to it.
Forewarned is forearmed.

Silence is golden.
The squeky wheel gets the grease.

Clothes make the man.
Never judge a book by its cover.

The best things come in small packages.
The bigger, the better.

If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.
If you can't beat'em join'em.

Dig the well before you are thirsty.
Don't cross the bridge till you come to it.
