Answer 1

I don't know what they're called ........But I Like This One>>>.IF YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT.......
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.!! (ouch)

Answer 2

Say what you mean and mean what you say!
Ok! that means that you if you tell someone you are going to do something, you do it instead of just talking about it. Difference between a sincere person you can trust to do the job and someone who is always talking about how good a job they are doing and doing nothing but talking and brown nosing the boss.

Laugh as long as you breath, and love as long as you live::
Mean never loss your sense of humor because of life's troubles Always find something to laugh about no matter how bad the situation. Never loss you capacity to love !

They are usually called, "as the old saying goes!" Or they can also be referred to as parables. Or also known as thoughts for the day. Also been known as rules to live by.

Answer 3

Double entendres are expressions that have dual meanings, but your examples aren't double entendres. French literally translated as double meaning.

Cliche'? Aphorism? Adage?

It's almost as if you're applying the principle of a palindrome (i.e - spelled the same forwards and backwards) in a figurative or conceptual sense instead of literally. I don't know if there IS a word for that.
