Howl Like A Wolf


A hungry wolf is not at rest.
(Portuguese)

Hunger drives the wolf out
of the woods.
(English)

The wolf doesn't concern himself with
the price of a sheep.
(African-Hausa)

It is a hard winter when one
wolf eats another.
(English)

If the wolf feared rain, he would
wear a clock.
(Greek)

The wolf is not afraid of the dog,
but he hates his bark. 
(Yiddish)

Do not measure the wolf's tail
till he be dead.
(Serbian)

A wolf changes his coat but
never his nature.
(Serbian)
