either you get eaten by a wolf today or else the shepherd saves you from the wolf so he can sell you to the butcher tomorrow

It's foolish sheep that makes the wolf its confessor

He who has never tasted jail Lives well within the legal pale, While he who's served a heavy sentence Renews the racket, not repentance.

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be

Sheep are under the bed, but the wolf is on the bed.

He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by a wolf
