Do Adages Add Age?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
a little risk is worth the pain,
look before you leap, they say,
but steel yourself, don’t turn away.

Forewarned is forearmed, it’s true,
and oftentimes it’ll pull you through,
the future holds its snares enough,
and life without a map is rough.
