In `The Comic Encyclopedia', Evan Esar refers to these as "clipped proverbs".

A few more samples:
---

A penny saved is a penny.

In spring, a young man's fancy.

Hell hath no fury like a woman.

A rose by any other name would smell.

He who fights and runs away, lives.

All work and no play makes jack.
(Jack: old slang term for money)

All's well that ends.
