There are twenty-one(21) well-known, historic, correct English proverbs below and one(1) that is slightly incorrect when compared to the historically correct version. Astute observers will notice that exactly 22 of the words are capitalized, which deliciously coincides with the total number of proverbs.
They have been unmercifully mixed up.
There is a total of 149 words, and all should be accounted for in the correct answer.
Your goal is to recreate the correct ones and determine what the incorrect one says.

I think I have all of the proverbs:
Birds of a feather flock together
Barking dogs seldom bite
Revenge is a dish best served cold
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
A penny saved is a penny earned
Ask no questions and hear no lies
Adversity makes strange bedfellows
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Fortune favors the prepared
A house divided against itself cannot stand
A cat may look at a king
Fish and guests smell after three days
The way to a man's heart is directly through his ribcage
The early bird catches the worm
All things come to those who wait
The apple never falls far from the tree
The pen is mightier than the sword
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Speak softly and carry a big stick
Still waters run deep
The wrong proverb is:
The way to a man's heart is directly through his ribcage
It should be: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach

If you're mapping (which seems like a good idea!), you should probably map one "the" to "The".

I've got nine(?):
Adversity makes strange bedfellows.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Barking dogs seldom bite.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Still waters run deep.
All things come to those who wait.
Fortune favours the prepared.

A cat may look at a king
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
Speak softly and carry a big stick
Ask no questions and hear no lies
The apple never falls far from the tree
Fish and guests smell after three days

I take out my ELL notebook and I start to write down... other people's answers, as I know very little about English proverbs -- though I like the random proverbs forming in your lines, like "Fish earned through prevention stick speak "Bedfellows cannot served"" :D Nice puzzle!

Yes, I didn't even realize it, but between the three answers, all 22 are found (including the (?) wrong one.) +1's to everyone!
