Seriously, everyone should learn proverbs. They work magic in bars.

Hmm, I don't think that really works as a direct translation. Proverbs often don't go word for word because they rely on cultural references.

I think if I were trying to get across the idea of "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" I would say "A buen hambre no hay pan duro".

Hmm, I don't remember for sure.

"Todo se resuelve que no sea la muerte" is a good one. Everything works itself out as long as it isn't death.
