- Once you pay Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.*
- A guilty conscience is its own accuser.
- To mourn a mischief past and gone is the next way to bring new mischief on.*
- Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
- Short cuts make long delays**
- Where will wants not, a way opens.**
- There will be water if God wills it; we will find it if God wills it; we will drink it if God wills it.+

You missed a couple:
"Darmak and Jilad at Tanagra"
"Chaka, when the walls fell."
"Sucat, his eyes uncovered!"
One of my favorites, from a Sinbad movie of all places:
"Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel."
It's true. If you don't tie up your camel, the terrorists win.
