The examples that you gave (excluding the apple one) are simply old wives' tales, with no scientific verification, e.g. "If a rockingchair rocks when nobody is in it, somebody will die."
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a rhyme most likely invented by a parent, schoolteacher, ect. intended to prompt a child into eating healthy food to avoid an unpleasant visit to the doctor.
One saying that may or may not hold scientific relevance is "Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight." It is possible that the color of the sky at a particular time of day may indicate forthcoming weather, or this saying may be completely inaccurate.
