It's foolish sheep that makes the wolf its confessor

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

All the honey a bee gathers during its lifetime doesn't sweeten its sting

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be

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

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
