I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream.

The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.

The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.

They'll take suggestion as a cat laps milk.

Who steals my purse, steals trash, but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed.

There are a sort of men whose visagesDo cream and mantle like a standing pond.
