is there a book with a compilation of all the moral proverbs found in the Talmud? Not directly related to הלכה (Halacha). For example:
פסיעה גסה נוטלת אחד מחמש מאות ממאור עיניו של אדם A large step takes away one five-hundredth of a person’s eyesight. (Shabbat 113b)
Some of them might be translated to actual הלכות (Halacha), but in any case I a looking to something have a certain "moral" (מידות) inclination.
Yes a book does exist - There is an English sefer entitled The Wit and Wisdom of the Talmud by Rabbi Reuven Bulka which contains a collection of sayings from Chazal to do with daily living and the like.
Sefer Michlol Hamaamarim Vehapitgamim edited by Mosad HaRav Kook. This book contains almost all sentences and proverbs.
In the back of this Aramaic dictionary there are a few pages that contain such proverbs from the Talmud.
These two also have such sayings.
This anthology might be helpful.
There is an excellent set of seforim on chumash called עבד המלך which explains may of these mitzvos relating to the parsha.
