TEE HEE HEE...Eclipse, I got some people in MACON, G-A! Elite Ivy, my great grandma & grandma use to say a lot of the stuff you mentioned...However, two of my momma's favorite sayings that come right to mind are:
Umma turn you every which way, but loose!!!
and
(some time after the whuppn) she'd say: "You mad??? Then, scratch yo behind & get glad!!!"
I've used the second one on occasion...LOL!!!

I just heard this one the other day...
This is used if someone cooks something and you don't like it or don't eat it...
You can eat poke and grit:
Translation...you can poke your mouth out and grit your teeth...
The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree...
If a child "clowns, etc.", then 9 times out of 10, the parent "clowns, etc" too! 
so and so is crazy as a hatchet...  
why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?
never let your right hand know what the left hand is doing...

never look a gift horse in the mouth
don't bite the hand that feeds you...
if you keep your hand balled in a fist...nothing can COME IN and nothing can GO OUT...

Most of the things my grandmother and great grandmother says/said were already mentioned but one that I used to hear very frequently is "Gimme what got u here." Implying two things, either (1)you'd better ask for things politely, or, (2)you'd better do something to make me think you deserve to get what it is you want.

I like this one!! Here are some regulars with my family:
*That person is hotter than "fish grease" or "cleaner than the Board of Health."
Translation: The person looks really nice.
*What's ailing you?
Translation: What's wrong with you?
*Make haste!
Translation: Hurry up!
*Do you want some tee?
Translation: Do you want something to EAT?
*I'm not going to use any more of your juice.
Translation: I am about to get off this
telephone.
Is it just me or does anyone else have that grandparent/great-grandparent who is looking right at you and calls you by every name BUT yours. Then they get mad when you don't answer.
