Who escapes the snare
Once, has a certain caution to beware. [ Chapman ]

Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare. [ Dryden ]

An old fox does not run into the snare a second time. [ German Proverb ]

A bird may be caught with a snare, that will not be shot. [ Proverb ]

The splash and stir of fountains spouted up and showering down
In meshes of the jasmine and the rose:
And all about us peal'd the nightingale,
Rapt in her song, and careless of the snare. [ Tennyson ]

Our wealth is often a snare to ourselves, and always a temptation to others. [ Colton ]

Gold is called the bait of sin, the snare of souls, and the hook of death; which being aptly applied may be compared to a fire, whereof a little is good to warm one, but too much will burn him altogether. [ Sir R. Filmer ]

But for the cravings of the belly not a bird would have fallen into the snare; nay, nay, the fowler would not have spread his net. The belly is chains to the hands and fetters to the feet. He who is a slave to his belly seldom worships God. [ Saadi ]
