The shepherd, even when he become a gentleman, smells of the lamb.

A discerning son heeds instruction, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.

I cannot bleat like a sheep. I'm a shepherd dog.

Woe to the shepherd who abandons his sheep.

The shepherd always tries to persuade his flock that its interests and his own are one and the same.

I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
