How does one indicate that they did something in the past, and continue to do so? For example, "For years, I have been paying for my crimes/education/mistakes." Is it all about aspect again?

Does anybody know a website that explains the meaning of proverbs and sayings? I couldn't find one.
By the way, what do the following phrases mean?

С паном по-пански, с хамом по-хамски.
Долг платежом красен.

Люблю еду (наверно)

It seems I ask alot of food questions. Here's another:

свёкла/свекла: Ожегов 2003 gives only variant свёкла, but I've heard свекла (stress on 2nd syllable). Is variant 2 common prostorechie?

Is a kernel of corn ядро or зерно (or neither)?

Спасибо заранее.
