Total

Better the foot slip than the tongue
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
Better one-eyed than stone-blind
Better lose a jest than a friend
Better late than never
Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt
Better give a shilling than lend a half-crown
Better early than late
Better die standing than live kneeling
Better deny at once than promise long
Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion
Better be envied than pitied
Better be born lucky than rich
Better be alone than in bad company
Better an open enemy than a false friend
Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow
Better a little fire to warm us, than a great one to burn us
Better a lean peace than a fat victory
Better a glorious death than a shameful life
Best defence is offence
Believe not all that you see nor half what you hear
Beggars cannot be choosers
Before you make a friend eat a bushel of salt with him
Before one can say Jack Robinson
Beauty lies in lover's eyes
