Try OpenGameArt

Also a Google image search with the work "sprite sheet" in it is usually pretty useful.

Mario Example

Thanks, now I have other doubt: how split the 'sprite sheet'? – user12287 Nov 18 '11 at 5:58

Or better yet don't. Use the source rectangle in the spritebatch.draw function to draw only a portion of an image. Uses less memory and renders faster that way. – ClassicThunder Nov 18 '11 at 7:18
+1 ClassicThunder's response. Splitting up the sprite sheet into discrete textures is an uncommon approach and will just make you juggle many texture objects in arrays. Not good. – ChrisC Nov 18 '11 at 21:26
