(A Proverbial Explanation For) Why No Action is Taken - Algebra Suicide

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
