The fox condemns the trap, not himself.

The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.

If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.

All wholesome food is caught without a net or a trap.

The rat, the mouse, the fox, the rabbet; watch the roots.

If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentance you'll certainly wipe; But if once you let the ripe moment go, You can never wipe off the tears of woe
