(A Proverbial Explanation For) Why No Action is Taken

Because nothing ventured, nothing gained, but better safe than sorry
And when in doubt, don’t
Because we look before we leap, knowing a stitch in time saves nine
And we try to make hay while the sun shines, because he who hesitates is lost
But slow and steady always wins the race
Because too many cooks spoil the broth, but God helps those who helps themselves
And if you want something done, do it yourself, but two heads are better than
one
Because where there’s smoke, there’s fire, although all that glitters is not
gold
And you can’t judge a book by its cover, but clothes make the man
Because idle hands are the devil’s playlot, but we fear burning our candles at
both ends
'Cause the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary
So we keep our nose to the grindstone, knowing all work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy
