A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush. 一鳥在手勝於兩鳥在林。(把握現在,別空想未來)Curiosity killed the cat.好奇心會害死貓（過份好奇是危險的）。
Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. 勿殺雞取卵。
The early bird catches the worm. 早起鳥兒有蟲吃。
One scabbed sheep infects the whole flock.一隻羊生病疮整群羊遭殃。
There is a black sheep in every flock. 到處都有害群之羊。
A lazy sheep thinks its wool heavy. 懶羊嫌毛重。
He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by the wolf. 甘心做綿羊，必然餵豺狼。
The scalded cat fears cold water. 一朝被蛇咬，十年怕草繩。
When the cat's away, the mice will play. 貓兒不在，老鼠成精。
