This may be in the semi-found genre again.

A watched pot is never good for the gander.
When the cat's away, all roads lead to birds of a feather.
Don't lock the stable door after the horse is in the details.
The bad workman always blames the best things in life.
Better safe than the soul of wit.
The bigger they come, the harder they flock together.
Blood is thicker than all that glitters.
Discretion is the better part of a gift horse.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's easy come, easy go.
Every dog has his finders keepers.
God helps those who help He Who Laughs last.
He who hesitates is here today, gone tomorrow.
If at first you don't succeed, make hay while necessity loves company.
Once bitten, let sleeping dogs lie.
Early to bed and early to rise, out of sight, out of mind, into the fire.
The pen is mightier than people who live in glass houses.
There's more than one way to practice what you preach.
Strike while the iron is 'twixt the cup and the lip.
When the going gets tough, the mice will play.
