Maybe it’s ‘cause I read the bible, but the only one I remotely attributed to the bible was the “spare the rod” one, and it gets the point of the verse in proverbs to a degree. The “money is the root...” one is one of my favorites to bring up because by simply removing the phrase “the love of” the meaning is completely and utterly changed and destroyed.
I’ve not heard any of the others attributed to the bible. I saw them as “a stitch in time saves nine” sorts of sayings, if I had ever heard them at all.

God helps them that helps themselves, but God help you if you get caught helping yourself.
It’s all in the Axe of the Apostles.
