Reverse Proverbs

Not mine, originally from here, but these are the ones that make the most sense (to me at least)

Don't put all your baskets in one egg.

A master of all trades is jack of none.

Those who teach, can.

A bush in two hands is worth one in the bird.

(Alternatively, a bush in the hand is worth two in the bird.)

After the calm comes a storm.

Don't feed the hand that bites you.

He who laughs longest laughs last.

Stones and hurt may break my words, but sticks will never bone me.

Evil is the root of all money.

Never speak dead of the ill.

Better never than late. (Sometimes oh-so-true)

Too many broths spoil the cook.

Fondness makes the heart grow absent.

Out of the fire and into the frying pan.

Never book a judge by his cover.
