A hungry eye sees far. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Too late to lock the stable door when the steed is stolen. The far off fields are green. Look before you leap. The cows in Connaught have long horns. Never put down your foot without first being sure of the ground. A little pot is soon hot. When the cat is away the mice can play. You can't take wool of a goat.
