The early bird catches the worm. ( I think it means that you'll have more good results if you wake up earlier).

A man is known by the company he keeps. (I think it means that you're exactly like someone you talk to). it's more like your reputation is dependent on who you choose as your friends.

it just means you don't like it. Not that it's not your problem, just that you are not interested. "I don't play tennis. It's just not my cup of tea"
