Better have one bee than a host of flies, [96]
Better have something yourself than beg of your sister, [350]
Better have to give than have to beg, [283]
Better in an old carriage than in a new ship, [350]
Better is a leap over the ditch than the entreaties of good men, [282]
Better is an enemy to good, [102], [136]
Better is better, [135]
Better is my neighbour’s hen than mine, [283]
Better is rule than rent, [231]
Better is the branch that bends, than the branch that breaks, [350]
