Nils Bohr was fond of saying that the hallmark of an important truth is 
that its opposite is also an important truth.

You can play a lightweight Jack Handey version with proverbs: many hands 
make light work, but/and too many cooks spoil the broth. A stitch in 
time saves nine, keeping always in mind that haste makes waste, and/but 
better late than never. Is well begun half done, or does a journey of a 
thousand miles begin with a singl step?

Cf. also Coleridge on enantiodromia, the juncture of extremes... when 
what you thought was a straight spectrum is revealed to be a ring.
