1.     He who hesitates is lost.
       but
       Look before you leap.
      
2.     Birds of a feather flock
       together.
       but
       Opposites attract.
      
3.     You're never too old to learn.
       but
       You can't teach an old dog
       new tricks.
      
4.     Ask no questions and hear no
       lies.
       but
       Ask and you shall receive.
      
5.     Variety is the spice of life.
       but
       Don't change horses in
       midstream.
      
6.     Doubt is the beginning, not the
       end, of wisdom.
       but
       Faith will move mountains.
      
7.     The pen is mightier than the
       sword.
       but
       Actions speak louder than
       words.
      
8.     Don't cross the bridge 'till you
       come to it.
       but
       Forewarned is forearmed.
      
9.     Silence is golden.
       but
       The squeaky wheel gets the
       grease.
      
10.     Clothes make the man.
        but
        Never judge a book by its
        cover.
