a fox is not taken twice in the same snare

proverb One who learns from one's mistakes does not repeat them. Of course Gail doesn't trust you now—you lied to her. A fox is not taken twice in the same snare. I made a lot of mistakes in my younger years, but a fox is not taken twice in the same snare, and neither am I—that's how I turned my life around. I'm not giving that fool any money after he ripped me off last time! A fox is not taken twice in the same snare!
