Two titles for you, off my bookshelf.
The 2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said (many amusingly illustrated) — Robert Byrne
America’s Popular Sayings — Gregory Titelman
Look at your local bookshop or you can buy online at Amazon.com
Hope that helps.

I get a kick out of those sayings and want to learn the correct way they go and the reason they came about.
