Total

Catch the bear before you sell his skin

Care killed the cat

Calamity is man's true touchstone

By the street of 'by-and-bye' one arrives at the house of 'Never'

By hook or by crook

By doing nothing we learn to do ill

Business before pleasure

Burn not your house to rid it of the mouse

Brevity is the soul of wit

Borrowed garments never fit well

Blood is thicker than water

Blind men can judge no colours

Birds of a feather flock together

Bind the sack before it be full

Beware of a silent dog and still water

Betwixt and between

Between two stools one goes (falls) to the ground

Between two evils 'tis not worth choosing

Between the upper and nether millstone

Between the devil and the deep (blue) sea

Between the cup and the lip a morsel may slip

Better untaught than ill-taught

Better unborn than untaught

Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven

Better to do well than to say well
