There is no useful proverb

 EXCEPTION, n. A thing which takes the liberty to differ from other things of its class, as an honest man, a truthful woman, etc. "The exception proves the rule" is an expression constantly upon the lips of the ignorant, who parrot it from one another with never a thought of its absurdity. In the Latin, "_Exceptio probat regulam_" means that the exception _tests_ the rule, puts it to the proof, not
_confirms_ it. The malefactor who drew the meaning from this excellent dictum and substituted a contrary one of his own exerted an evil power which appears to be immortal.
  Ambrose Bierce

 There are two great rules in life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can in the end get what he wants if he only tries. This is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is more or less of an exception to the rule.
  Samuel Butler

 There are no exceptions to the rule that everybody likes to be an exception to the rule. She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter.
  Charles Osgood

 We wouldn't raise any objections to what Freddy wants to do. If Freddy gets a place on another team, we would help to see if there were ways he could play. My understanding of the rule -- and I sit on the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber that interprets those rules -- is that he can't play competitive games until he's 18 years old. The rule is designed to protect young kids against exploitation. I don't know whether FIFA wants to decide to make an exception. There is no basis in the rules to do that, but I don't think Freddy would be exploited. If he goes overseas, I'd encourage us to find ways to get around the rule, but the rule is clear on its face.

 It's the rule rather than the exception.

 There is no exception to the rule that every rule has an exception
  James Thurber

 She's the exception to the rule.

 There is no useful rule without an exception
  Thomas Fuller

 Dell is more the exception to the rule than the rule for what we're gonna see from other technology companies. This is Dell picking up market share in a no-growth market.
