A Contrario

[caption id="attachment_124861" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Contradiction"][/caption]

Dalam hidup kita tidak terlepas dari kata-kata atau kalimat-kalimat yang menginspirasi kita. Waktu saya masih kecil dulu, masih jamannya tuker-tukeran buku kecil yg mesti diisi dengan biodata kita, dari nama, warna favorit, alamat, dll, dan dari beberapa kategori yg diisi, ada kategori “kata mutiara”. Sejak kecil kita diajarkan tentang pepatah. Mungkin kalo bahasa Inggrisnya “quotes” atau “words of wisdom”.

Nah disini saya mengumpulkan quotes yang bertolak belakang. Tidak ada maksud apa-apa, hanya utk bacaan menjelang weekend, dan semoga menghibur siapa saja yang membaca.

Mari mulai…

Don’t judge a book by its cover / Clothes make the man

Actions speak louder than words / The pen is mightier than the sword

Look before you leap / He who hesitates is lost

Two heads are better than one / Too many cooks spoil the broth

A silent man is a wise one / A man without words is a man without thoughts

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. / Better safe than sorry.

The bigger, the better. / The best things come in small packages.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. / Out of sight, out of mind.

What will be, will be. / Life is what you make it.

Cross your bridges when you come to them. / Forewarned is forearmed.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. / One man's meat is another man's poison.

With age comes wisdom. / Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings come all wise sayings.

The more, the merrier./ Two's company; three's a crowd.

The best things in life are free. / You get what you pay for.

It never rains, than it pours. / Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.

Better to ask the way than to go astray. / Ask no questions and hear no lies.

Never do evil, that no good may come of it. / The end justifies the means.

Variety is the spice of life. / Don't change horses in the middle of a stream.

There is nothing permanent except change. / There is nothing new under the sun.

Never too old to learn. / You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Everything comes to him who waits. / He who hesitates is lost.

Hehehehe…

Cheriooo…
