"You Can't Tell The Depth Of the Well By the Length Of The Pump Handle"...

"Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold"..........

Meaning that revenge is best served not fresh after the insult occurred, but after enough time has passed so that the target won't see it coming.

Vengeance is often more satisfying if it is not exacted immediately.

"There's Many A Good Tune Played On An Old Fiddle"...

Old people can be very capable. Just because someone is old doesn’t mean they can’t do the task at hand. Perhaps they can do the task better than a younger person because they have more experience.

"Third Time's The Charm"...........

The third time you try to do something, it will work or so they say!
