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

Great! I especially like the last one. It is sort of the reverse of a quip by Jonathan Swift that was something like..." A true genius can always be recognized by seeing all the the dunces in confederacy against him". John Kennedy Toole took the title to his Pulitzer prize novel, " A Confederacy of Dunces" about a New Orleans "character" and his associates from Swift's quote. Good book.
