In most of these cases, the second part was actually added later as a witty, sarcastic comeback. For example. "Great minds think alike," first appeared in print in an 1816 biography, whereas the "fools seldom differ" part was added later as a witty counter-remark, first appearing in print in a February 1932 edition of a Canadian newspaper, the Leader Post, as part of an illustrated proverb competition.

False btw, the other halves were made up afterwards and people believed them because knowing them made them sound smart

The phenomenon is actually the other way around. In essentially every single case of this, the shorter saying is the original, often older by centuries or millennia, and the second part is a contemporary addition made in the last hundred years or so
