Can anyone think of any sayings that have an opposite saying? For example, " Too many cooks spoil the broth" and then we have "Many hands make light work" can you think of any more?
Just thought of another! "Out of sight , out of mind" and "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" , any more?

It's better to be safe than sorry / Nothing ventured, nothing gained
More haste less speed / Time waits for no man
Don't judge a book by its cover / Clothes make the man
Birds of a feather flock together / Opposites attract

what the eye doesn't see - the heart doesn't cry for
it's all in the eye of the beholder
every dog has his day
bad news travels fast
don't shoot the messenger
the good die young
git 'er done
little pitchers have big ears
children should be seen and not heard
tresspassers will be shot - survivors will be shot again
it's hard to keep a good man down
strike three - you're out of here
well, you asked me

For every saying, there is an equal and opposite saying.
Look before you leap, but he who hesitates is lost.

My mate says both of these, depending on whether he's winning or not. ' If you're not fast, you're last' and ' It's a marathon, not a sprint'
