Proverbs:
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
A stitch in time saves nine.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Similes:
Quick as a flash.
Dumb as an ox.
White as a sheet.
Then there's a great joke my Dad once told me. A friend of his saw a really old stove and said, "This stove is so old, it remembers Captain Cook!" Hey, it's not a simile, or a proverb. But it is certainly funny.
