How about a list of contradictory proverbs:
Opposites attract. Birds of a feather flock together.
Opposites attract is mostly a myth: Couples match up for age, physical attractiveness, height, religion, income, ethnic group, political views, and so on.
The early bird gets the worm. Haste makes waste.
So hurry up and wait!
All good things come to him who waits. A stitch in time saves nine.
Ditto.
Attack is the best form of defense. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
So be a hawk and also a dove.
Clothes make the man. You cannot judge a book by its cover.
So be superficial—or not.
Familiarity breeds contempt. Home is where the heart is.
So we hate—and love—familiar experiences.
Great minds think alike. Fools seldom differ.
Agreeing with others is a sign of intelligence—or stupidity.
Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone. Misery loves company.
So gloomy people seek companionship but get rejected?
Money is the root of all evil. Money makes the world go around.
So money is very bad and also very constructive.
Too many cooks spoil the broth. Many hands make light work.
So other people mess up the project—or help it along.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.
So invest in the future—or not.
Love makes the world go around. When poverty comes in the door, love flies out the window.
So love is good and powerful—or completely unreliable.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Out of sight, out of mind.
So your absent lover will pine—or play the field.
