Another collection of verses is the Sutta-Nipata. Here is a good series of talks on them by Bhikkhu Bodhi:

http://bodhimonastery.org/sutta-nipata.html

(same content different layout:)
https://discourse.suttacentral.net/tags/bbsnptalks

Both Sutta-Nipata and Dhammapada are from the collection "Khuddaka Nikāya"
https://suttacentral.net/kn

This Nikaya contains mostly verses, some very old.

The suttas in the rest of the canon have a different feel, there are the long discourses
https://suttacentral.net/dn

the middle length discourses
https://suttacentral.net/mn

the connected discourses
https://suttacentral.net/sn

the numerical discourses
https://suttacentral.net/an

For an important sutta with a very different feel to the short verses of the Dhammapada and the Sutta Nipata, try the Mahaparinibbana sutta, number 16 of the Long Discourses:
https://suttacentral.net/en/dn16

Here is a good introductory essay on the Mahaparinibbana Sutta:
