Wanted: Exceptions for every rule

Look before you leap – He who hesitates is lost

Many hands make light work, but too many cooks spoil the broth.

A fool and his money are soon parted – unless you’re Paris Hilton.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush - until it poops on you.

Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched - unless you want to know how many eggs you have.

But then you would be counting eggs instead of chickens!

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the nail that stands up get pounded down.

Out of sight, out of mind – and yet, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth but beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

You’re never too old to learn, but you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

(Also, just wondering: If “there is an exception to every rule” is a rule, does it have an exception?)

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. - You may think you have eliminated everything you know is impossible, but if you have not the only thing that remains may not be the truth even though you think it is.

Oops. Posted in wrong thread.

At first you don’t succeed, try, try again–then give up. (There’s no use in being a damn fool about it.)

(Plagiarized quote)

Nothing ventured, nothing gained <—> a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

All generalizations are false. Including this one.
Moderation in all things, including moderation.
Question authority?!? Cite?
I’ve given up all my vices - except lying.

The doctors say I have to stay away from aphorisms now.

There is an exception to every rule, but every rule has an exception.
