So contradictory
Each a timely message gives…..
Confusing though if chosen
As a way of how to live…..

BUT
It doesn’t rain but it pours,

BUT
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Look before you leap
BUT
Make hay while the sun shines
AND
Take time to smell the roses.

BUT
A little dirt never hurt anyone.
Many a slip twixt cup and lip
BUT
If at first you don’t succeed……..

Be realistic.
Don’t carry all your eggs in one basket
BUT
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
BUT
Many hands make light work.

BUT
Penny wise, pound foolish.

BUT
You don’t miss what you never had.

BUT
Make a fresh start.
Clothes maketh the man
BUT
Beauty is only skin deep.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

Seize the day AND
Good things come to those who wait

It is what it is.

BUT
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
