Many common proverbs have an "opposite" proverb which seems to make more-or-less the opposite point. Of the following proverbs, which one fits least well with "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"?

- A stitch in time saves nine
- He who laughs last laughs loudest
- Penny saved is a penny earned
- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
- Penny wise, pound foolish

No, this is not a fair question, and you would not see anything like this on the GMAT. For one, it penalizes people who are not familiar with the meanings of certain commonly used cliches. GMAT would never test this.
