paradoxical proverbs

‘A wise man knows he knows nothing’ but if he knows nothing how does he know. Some more proverbial paradoxes:

The pen is mightier than the sword

but

Actions speak louder than words


Faith will move mountains

but

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom


Clothes make the man

but

Never judge a book by its cover


All good things come to those who wait

but

Time waits for no man


Birds of a feather flock together

but

Opposites attract


Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

but

He who hesitates is lost


Wise men think alike

but

Fools seldom differ
