CONTRADICTORY PROVERBS.
These are pairs of proverbs which show how difficult it is to derive wisdom from knowledge: — "A. man is known by the company he keeps." "Appearances are deceitful." "Honesty is the best policy." _ "The truth is not to be. spoken at all times." "Too inany cooks spoil the broth." "Jn a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom," or "Two heads are better than one." "Out of sight, out of mind." "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." "Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves.' "Penny wise and pound foolish." "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." "Nothing venture, nothing have."
