I've always been fond of Tolkien's spin on adages and proverbs .

"All's well as ends Better!" "It's an ill wind as blows nobody no good." "It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish." and many more.

He always seems to put such a clever spin on these little phrases we've all heard all our lives.
