MAKE A PROVERB IV
Based on a puzzle by Will Shortz
Change one letter in each of the (nonsense) phrases below such that the new words formed are the first two words of a familiar proverb. For example, given the phrase PLOW AID, you would change the P in PLOW to S, and the I in AID to N, to get SLOW AND - the first two words to SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE. Can you name the two words and complete the proverb?
