Proverbs and their opposites

NEWTON'S THIRD LAW STATES: "EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AND AN OPPOSITE REACTION".

SO IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT EVERY PROVERB HAS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE PROVERB.

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT BUT TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NONE

THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

WISE MEN THINK ALIKE BUT FOOLS SELDOM DIFFER

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE BUT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE BUT TIME WAITS FOR NONE

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP BUT STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT

DO IT WELL, OR NOT AT ALL BUT HALF A LOAF IS BETTER THAN NONE

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER BUT OPPOSITES ATTRACT

DON'T CROSS YOUR BRIDGES BEFORE
YOU COME TO THEM BUT FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED

DOUBT IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM BUT FAITH WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS

GREAT STARTS MAKE GREAT FINISHES BUT IT ISN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT BUT ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY

SILENCE IS GOLDEN BUT THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN BUT YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS

WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS
GOOD FOR THE GANDER BUT ONE MAN'S MEAT IS ANOTHER MAN'S POISON

ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER BUT OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND

TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH BUT MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK

HOLD FAST TO THE WORDS OF YOUR
ANCESTORS BUT WISE MEN MAKE PROVERBS AND FOOLS REPEAT THEM
