An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Yuyeh sesh. Despise your heart. Ni weh sesh. I have no heart.

Plant an expectation; reap a disappointment." (Quoting an old adage)

In Shoshone, there's a saying. It's a long one, and it doesn't have an English equivalent, so bear with me.

Sutummu tukummuinna. It means, I don't speak your language, and you don't speak mine. But I still understand you. I don't need to walk in your footsteps if I can see the footprints you left behind.
