"Haste makes waste." "He who hesitates is lost."<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong> (7 September). Jeff Hodges<\/a> and Kid Nemesis come to my aid.  Jeff contributes:<\/span><\/p>\n

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
\n"Out of sight, out of mind."<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff adds, "According to some, the latter was translated into German to mean "blind and crazy"! That might be a joke, but I did hear a professional translator render "white male gaze" into German as "white male homosexuals."<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, "Out of sight, out of mind" is rendered exactly by the German proverb Aus den Augen, aus den Sinn<\/em>.  Someone who didn't know German well could easily translated the latter as "blind and crazy" thinking that the German sentence means "out of eyes and out of mind."<\/span><\/p>\n

Kid Nemesis  writes, "Not really injunctions, but. . .  <\/p>\n

'Distance makes the heart grow fonder' vs 'Out of sight, out of mind.'"<\/span><\/p>\n

'Absence,' not 'distance.'  But KN makes a good point: my second example and Jeff's are not injunctions<\/a>.  My post should have been titled, 'Dueling Maxims.' An injunction is an act of ordering or commanding or enjoining or admonishing or else the content<\/em> of an act of ordering or commanding or enjoining or admonishing.  Injunctions are broadly imperative as opposed to declarative.  A maxim<\/a> may or may not be imperative.<\/span><\/p>\n
