"give him enough rope and he'll hang himself"
suggesting that if you allow a guilty or foolish person enough freedom to act, they will eventually cause their own downfall.

another one is "time longer than rope"

unfortunately it isn’t an exclusive proverb and some people expire before they do the necessary with that rope


we used to say time longer than TWINE
