A regular contributor on the MennoLink Web site sent a copy of what he called
"juxtaposed pearls of sacrosanct worldly wisdom" for us to ponder, asking, "What do you think?"
Actions speak louder than words. / The pen is mightier than the sword.
Look before you leap. / He who hesitates is lost.
Many hands make light work. (OR) Two heads are better than one. / Too many cooks spoil the broth.
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. (OR) All that glitters is not gold.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. / Better safe than sorry.
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.
The best things in life are free. / You get what you pay for.
It never rains, than it pours. / Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
Better to ask the way than to go astray. / Ask no questions and hear no lies.
Never do evil that good may come of it. / The end justifies the means.
Variety is the spice of life. / Don't change horses in the middle of a stream.
There is nothing permanent except change. / There is nothing new under the sun.
Never too old to learn. / You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Everything comes to him who waits. / He who hesitates is lost.
Opposites attract. / Birds of a feather flock together.
