Well, ever hear the story of the boy who cried wolf? That's the origin of that one. And, as someone else already covered, the wolf in sheep's clothing is biblical in origin, though it has been through some other usages over the years.

Your be amazed how many of Aesop's fables are still in the consciousness of people that have never directly read them just because they're so deeply engrained into culture.
