I suggest the following proverbs,

A friend in need is a friend indeed
Knowledge is power
Work on what you like and you will never have to work anymore
Experience is the best knowledge
Sharing knowledge leads to immortality.

All that glisters is not gold
An idle brain is the devil's workshop
As you sow, so you shall reap
Barking dogs seldom bite
Every dog has its day
Necessity is the mother of invention
Honesty is the best policy
There's no smoke without fire
Experience is the best teacher
Truth is stranger than fiction
