Better the foot slip than the tongue.
Better to be off with the old love before you are on with the new
Better to be poor and healthy rather than rich and sick.
Better to do well than to say well
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkeness.
Better to live one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep.
Better to marry than to burn
Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.
Better to wear out than to rust out.
Better unborn than untaught.
Better untaught than ill-taught.
Better wed over the mixen than over the moor.
Between the devil and the deep sea.
Between the upper and nether millstone.
Between two evils it is not worth choosing.
Between two stools one falls to the ground.
Beware of a silent dog and still water.
Big fish eat little fish.
Big fleas have little fleas upon their back to bite them, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
Bind the sack before it be full.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Blessed is he who expects nothting, for he shall never be disappointed.
Blessings brighten as they take their flight.
Blind men can judge no colours.
Blood is thicker than water.
Blood will have bloods.
Blood will tell.
Borrowed garments never fit well.
Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is better.
Brave men leaved and before Agamemnon.
Bread always falls buttered side down.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Burn not your house to fright the mouse away
Burn the candle at both ends
Business before pleasure.
By doing nothing we learn to do ill.
By hook or by crook.
