Gaelic Proverbs - Give a man an inch and he'll take a mile.
Am fear a ghoideadh an t-ubh-circe, ghoideadh e 'n t-ubh-geòidh. The man who would steal the hen's egg would steal the goose egg.
Am fear a ghoideadh an t-snàthad, ghoideadh e 'm meuran. The man who would steal the needle would steal the thimble.
Am fear a ghoideas an t-snàthad bheag, goididh e 'n t-snàthad mhòr. The man who will steal the small needle will steal the big needle.
