Is there any Turkish say...that means..."You catch more flies (bugs) with honey, than with vinegar?"..or something close to this saying with the same meanings?

I don´t know exactly but there is a similar saying about about vinegar. this is a verb: yüzü sirke satmak
It means literally; someone´s face sells vinegar
It means indeed; if one is not smiling, is always glum, then we say "yüzü sirke satıyor"="his face sells vinegar"
If there is another expression, I hope someone say it.

The sentence in English has the meaning of ´you will do better in life by being good to people than by being bad to them´
I am sure there must be a Turkish version of this!

I think that one is ´you reap what you sow´ in English - so that has a similar meaning

If you talk nicely, you can make even the snake go out of his hole (or home, whatever you say)
tatlı dil= "sweet tongue" ==> to talk nicely, politely
