I gave the mouse a hole, and she is become my heire. [I gave the mouse a hole, and she is become my heir.]
The mouse that always trusts to one poor hole Can never be a mouse of any soul.
Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
A caveman took a shell, and maybe it had a hole in it, or maybe he put a hole in it, and he put it on a piece of a tail of a donkey or a dinosaur or something and gave it to the cavewoman. She put it around her neck - the first jewel.
My mum, Helen, was hilarious. She had a tremendous sense of humour and was a great singer and tap dancer. For many years, she was the voice of Minnie Mouse in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She would be in the float as it came along, singing whatever the Minnie Mouse song of the day was. She was a really big spirit in my life.
Well, Congress gave us a billion dollars to dig the hole, this gigantic hole. Bigger, much bigger than the hole in Geneva, Switzerland. Then they canceled the machine and gave us a second billion dollars to fill up the hole. Two billion dollars to dig a hole and fill it up. That is the wisdom of the United States Congress and it really makes you wonder: Is there intelligent life on the Earth? Certainly not in the United States Congress.
She’d survived the Drowned Cities because she wasn’t anything like Mouse. When the bullets started flying and warlords started making examples of peacekeeper collaborators, Mahlia had kept her head down, instead of standing up like Mouse. She’d looked out for herself, first. And because of that, she’d survived.
Domesticity was meat and drink to Mouse, and she liked taking care of people. She had done it for so long that it had become a habit with her.
A mouse relies not solely on one hole.
The mouse that hath but one hole is quickly taken.
A mouse does not rely on just one hole.
A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole.
Popcorn-can cover / screwed to the wall / over a hole / so the cold / can't mouse in.
A mouse who wishes to fool the cat doesn't simply scamper out of its hole whenever it feels the slightest urge.
By perseverance the snail reached the ark. A mouse may find a hole, be the room ever so full of cats.
Consider the little mouse, how sagacious an animal it is which never entrusts its life to one hole only.
If you pursue an evenhanded policy between a cat and a mouse, do you help the mouse to survive - or allow the cat to eat half the mouse?
