Can you build in a bit of leeway to accept alternative phraseology? I tried "It's no use crying over spilt milk", "The early bird catches the worm" and "There are lots of (or many) fish in the sea".
I'm not sure about the translation for flogging a dead horse - doesn't "cecidit" mean "fell"? Maybe something more like "Equum mortuum noli verberare". Possibly.
I just don't know the phrase about the squeaky wheel. I've learnt something else.

Tibi gratias.

However, the latitude on allowing answers needs to be addressed, and then you have a quiz worthy of nomination.
For example these are not classed as correct.
The early bird catches the worm
A picture is worth 1000 words
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush
There are plenty more fish in the sea
Nominated on this basis.
