Spanish homework

Im doing some spanish reading (with a pint or 2 of Russian River Blind Pig IPA - yes!) One of my spanish books has proverbs as well as stories and ive just read a couple that i found amusing / appropriate

Mejor ser cabeza de raton que cola de leon.

Cuando estes en Roma haz como los romanos

...no prizes for guessing the second one...and in the spirit of this ive got half an eye on a baseball match...it just isnt cricket! ;)
