"Contradictory Proverbs"

Have you ever wondered how sometimes two proverbs can mean entirely opposite things, yet seem equally believable?

Here's an example:

"Out of sight, out of mind." vs. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Both of them are seemingly true, so which is more correct? (Don't say "it depends".)

Here's a solution to the paradox -- let Google decide!

"Out of sight, out of mind": 998,000 results.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder." 176,000 results.

We have a winner!

~ I don't see you any more. Ergo, you're out of my mind now. Goodbye!
