For each of the following five pairs of proverbs, explain whter you think the apparent contradiction between them can be reconciled, and if so, how.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder' vs. "Out of sight, out of mind"
"Look before you leap" vs. "He who hesitates is lost"
"You're never too old to learn" vs. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"
"It's better to be safe than sorry" vs. "Nothing venture, nothing gained"
"Many hands make light work" vs. "Too many cooks spoil the broth"
