Better buy as borrow.
Better be dead as out of the fashion.
Better unborn nor untaught.
Better be envied nor pittied.
Better a little fire that warms, nor a meikle that burns.
Be the same thing that thou wald be cald.
Better a laying Hen nor a lyin Crown.
Bannaks is better nor na kind of bread.
Black will be no other Hue.
Beauty but bounty avails nought.
