I've always found it funny and interesting how a lot of well-known proverbs have equal and opposite proverbs that tend to cancel them out. Here are some examples: He who hesitates is lost. BUT Look before you leap. Birds of a feather flock together. BUT Opposites attract. You're never too old to learn. BUT You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Ask no questions and hear no lies. BUT Ask and you shall receive. Variety is the spice of life. BUT Don't change horses in midstream. Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom. BUT Faith will move mountains. The pen is mightier than the sword. BUT Actions speak louder than words. Don't cross the bridge till you come to it. BUT Forewarned is forearmed. Silence is golden. BUT The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Clothes make the man. BUT Never judge a book by its cover. The best things come in small packages. BUT The bigger, the better. A miss is as good as a mile. BUT Half a loaf is better than none. An old fox is not easily snared. BUT There's no fool like an old fool. A good beginning makes a good ending. BUT It's not over till it's over. Blood is thicker than water. BUT Many kinfolk, few friends. Practice makes perfect. BUT All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas. BUT If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. BUT A man's reach should exceed his grasp. There's safety in numbers. BUT Better be alone than in bad company. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. BUT Don't beat a dead horse. Can you think of any others??

I hoped this was a thread on the topic of proverbs about dueling, like : "speed is nice, but accuracy is final" "no second place winner in a gunfight" "you miss every shot you don't take" (okay that one wasn't about dueling, but it still fits) but I guess not.
