I recall an English teacher urging the class not to use the “He who…” construction, and making the point by saying it’s like the way we mimic donkey sounds — “hee haw” becoming “hee hoo”. And he would produce about a triplet of them : “heehoo heehoo heehoo”.

It would be difficult after that to produce some traditional advice like “He who hesitates is lost”…
